Hakama Saiho Hinagata

Saiho hinagata (sewing templates) are miniature clothing samples that were made at sewing schools in around the 1920's or 30's,  sometimes earlier.  This was a way for students to  display their skills in traditional Japanese and/or  western  dressmaking without using too much fabric.  This  is a cotton  man's hakama -  formal skirt-like  pants. It measures approx 35cm x 22.5cm.  The colour is  browner than it looks in the photos. Early 20th century.
