Reverdible beauty. These "two-in-one" designs were highly popular for international trade because they offered a dual look—typically a vibrant, colorful side and a more subdued or dark side. • Fabric & Handwork: Authentic examples are made from silk or rayon hard to tell. and feature high-relief hand embroidery. • Floral Motifs: • Chrysanthemum (Kiku): Represents longevity, rejuvenation, and the Japanese Imperial family. • Peony (Botan): Known as the "King of Flowers," symbolizing nobility, wealth, and feminine beauty. • Plum Blossom (Ume): A symbol of perseverance and protection against evil, as it is the first to bloom in spring. Dating: Based on the vibrant color palette and heavy embroidery style, this piece likely dates from the 1920s to the 1930s, a period when "Art Deco" influence met traditional Japanese themes. • Rarity: Pieces featuring full embroidery on both sides are rarer than those with a printed reverse, making them highly sought after by vintage textile collectors. Size. Length : 50inch / 128cm Neck to sleeve : 22inch / 56cm Waist length : 52 inch / 123cm Measurements & Sizing • Please check your size carefully and be sure of your purchase. • Best to use the measurements provided and measure a similar garment to compare. • No return policy. Notes Before Purchase • Accessories: Unless otherwise stated, any accessories in photos are not included; they are used to show styling options. • Vintage Nature: Antique items have an element of "oldness" even if unworn and will not look like brand-new modern clothing. • Flaws: Expect minor flaws like loose stitching or age fading. While I try to list all flaws, tiny pinholes or minor breaks in lace can occasionally be missed. • Care for Pre-1930s Items: 1920s silk and Edwardian muslin are fragile and cannot handle stress. These should be worn with care and ideally bought a size larger for a loose fit.
