I actually love the fabric and pattern combo! I have a thing for unusual patterns though (and also love orange).
I have a few kimono jackets but never wear them; I find them really awkward as they don't keep me warm, meaning I have to wear layers under them. Then if I get warm I have to remove the jacket, remove a layer, put jacket back on and hope I've coordinated all my layers with the jacket... and vice versa (yes I'm fussy)
Having said all that I will still make more as I love them!
Anyhoo... back to the point. Nice job Lilian! Definitely too nice for just garden use
