Thread: need help finding pattern for a certain robe..

    need help finding pattern for a certain robe..

    looking for a specific type of robe, I've seen it both called a " Zen Yukata" or even a "lay robe" but cant seem to find anyone who actually carries a pattern ( as the prices I've seen for buying them so far are a wallet killer) . Basically it looks like a black " or dark blue" yukata, with the short sleeves " short enough so that the sleeves of the juban extend past it slightly. and has the slits under the arm pit, allowing for better movement, and to be worn " almost vest like" when arms are tied up. It does not look to be a very long one, just long enough to comfortably be worn with both the skirt, and pant style Hakama.

    best references I can find for the look are theses. any help finding a pattern ( even the " traditional" name of the style) or by any luck a cheeper store version would be valued more than I can express

    scroll down to item 106, labelled Yukata.

    thank you kindly.. This will go on my potentials list, hard to tell from the sketch for it, but I'm starting to thing a standard yukata pattern may be the best bet and simply modify it slightly
