diy: fringe kimono

here's what you do:
go to a thrift store and buy a sheer kimono style robe of your choosing - there are always loads of them.
buy some brush fringe - you can usually find it in the home decor section. i bought mine at joann's.
chop your robe to whatever your desired length is.
fold 1/2 inch around where you cut and iron. repeat again. [to prevent from fraying.]
pin the fringe on top of the ironed fold.
sew in place.
i also chose to alter my sleeves because the fit wasn't right.
and there you go!
