The Green Damask Aso-Ebi
For: Aso-ebi in a heavier cloth / winter family celebration
Damask is the cloth families choose when lace feels too delicate, and it is much kinder to a fuller frame. Straight top, no waist seam, one tone through to the trouser.
- Colour
- Forest green
- Cloth
- Woven damask, unlined tunic, self-cloth trouser and cap
- Cut
- Top to mid-thigh

Indicative UK market range: £300–£650 to make up, cloth excluded
On your frame
- Broad / muscular — Deep armhole, straight body, and keep the placket narrow.
- Tall and lean — Lengthen the top and the sleeve; damask needs some body under it.
- Compact — Hem to the hip and keep the trouser clean at the shoe.
- Fuller figure — No waist seam, side slits to the hip, and one tone through to the trouser.
