Young Asian Girl With A Watermelon Reveals In A Traditional Japanese Dress

Materials
Up until the fifteenth century kimonos were made of a natural fiber called hemp or out of linen, and they were made with multiple layers, then over the following 200 years silk fabrics, new colors, and single layers were introduced to the kimono. The more modern kimono also includes various paddings, belts, cords, and clips. When western clothing was introduced it was made from materials such as wools and, to a much lesser extent, cotton.
