Kaoru In A Kimono

This is what gave me so much grief..., lol, I had to do the shading on the kimono twice. I got the idea for this by looking at a picture of a silk kimono and this robe that goes on over it. I could see Kaoru in it very nicely and look! She's actually smiling, ^^

This is kind of I guess my contest entry for ~gargoylekid's contest to draw your OC wearing clothes from another time period well I call this vintage Japan so I hope it's acceptable,

I can't say what the time period is though, I can't find the picture I used, I saved it but I can't find where I found it.

I know it is vintage though so maybe from the 40s or 50s?

Sorry I couldn't do something more researched..., things have been stressful.
