Lantern Hakama Skirt
Garment
Design
This skirt is a mix of a gore skirt and the andon bakama (lantern hakama) which is an undivided hakama.
Patternmaking
I started with the Gilded Gore Skirt Pattern. I added the pleating found in the lantern hakama and made combined the two front and two back panels. The closing mechanism was two lapped zippers on the front skirt. I also added the ties to traditional hakama length and the Koshi-Ita. For the pockets, I shaped them to allude to the Sasa-Hida.
