Japanese Culture in New York - Chopsticks NY

Have you tried the zakka place in front of Mitsuwa in NJ?
I think I've seen the black kimono there, but I don't know about "dead looking",though.
They might be import one for you if you ask the owner, Yuri.

Kyotoya and Kimono Lily have vintage kimono. I am not so sure if they have ones appropriate for costume.

Kyotoya @ 23 W. 19th St.212-414-0720
Kimono lily - you can google and find their on-line site. They do have children's kimono.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip. I went to both but they did not have the look what my daughter was looking for the "dead" look. I don't even know where she gets this kind of ideas, but it seems that I'm making the dress for her.

I wonder, are they expensive?
