どうもNEOキモノStylistのミシェル由衣です。
10月末から七五三の着付けシーズンが始まりました！
先週は、とても可愛い三歳の女の子二人の着付けを担当させていただきました。
双子かと思いきや、実は年子の姉妹。お姉ちゃんが三歳、妹さんはまもなく三歳になる二歳。
仲良しで可愛らしい姿が印象的でした。
さらに、今回はお父様も着物をお召しになり、親子四人全員が着物姿に！家族全員で伝統的な日本の装いを楽しんでいただき、素敵な思い出になったのではないかと思います。
それにしても、近年は10月や11月でも暖かい日が多く、七五三の時期が少し後ろ倒しでも良いのでは？
と思うほどの気温が続いています。
最近では、12月初旬に七五三のお祝いをするご家庭も増えてきました。
さて、七五三の着付け予約ですが、11月末にはまだ若干の空きがございます。
もし「七五三の着物を着せてあげたいけど、タイミングを逃しちゃったかな？」とお悩みの方がいらっしゃいましたら、
ぜひお気軽にお問い合わせください。
七五三の特別な日を、伝統的な着物姿で素敵に彩りましょう！

Hi, I’m Michelle Yui, your NEO Kimono Stylist.
The Shichi-Go-San (literally “Seven-Five-Three”) season has officially begun! It’s a traditional Japanese celebration held in autumn to mark the healthy growth of children—specifically girls aged 3 and 7, and boys aged 5. Families dress their children in beautiful kimono and often visit shrines for blessings and commemorative photos.
Last week, I had the pleasure of dressing two absolutely adorable little girls. At first glance, they looked like twins—but they were actually sisters just one year apart: the older one is three, and her younger sister will turn three soon. Their sweet bond and matching kimono made for the cutest scene.
What made this family especially memorable was that the father also wore a kimono, so all four family members were in traditional Japanese attire. It was such a heartwarming moment to see an entire family enjoy the cultural experience together—surely a memory they’ll treasure forever.
Even though the official celebration period is in October and November, the weather in Japan has been quite warm lately. More and more families are choosing to celebrate Shichi-Go-San in early December to avoid the crowds and enjoy a more comfortable experience.
If you’re still hoping to dress your little ones in kimono this season—don’t worry!
I still have a few openings towards the end of November.
Even if you think you might have missed the “right timing,” feel free to reach out.
Let’s make your child’s special day even more memorable with traditional kimono.
✨ I also offer kimono dressing (kitsuke) services in English, so international families are very welcome!
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.
