Tomesode, modern kimono for married women.
Tomesode is the most formal kimono for married women. Its sleeves are much shorter than those of furisode and it has 5 family crests. (BTW, the number of family crests shows the extent of formality. For example, kimono with 3 family crests is less formal than that with 5.)
