That is going to be beautiful! Either way, but I would really lean towards the gold metallic....our neighbor (who is Japanese) has lots of her kimonos hung on her walls....lots of gold threadwork...they are gorgeous! Good luck!

I'm blown away - this is going to be gorgeous - it already is! How big is it?

My first thought was do the folds in gold - but my wait-a-minute thought was black. Do you have any acetate sheets or plastic? You could trace over the kimono on the acetate or plastic to see which you like best.

My first thought was black, but then I read what others said about real kimonos having gold in them, so I changed my mind.

It's going to be STUNNING no matter what!
