Karine Jamet is French web developer living in Marseille who says, "I like drawing and do sumi-e when I have nothing else to do. I also like kimono and kitsuke. I practice cha no yu (tea ceremony) and enjoy it." Also in her spare time, she runs a French group on Facebook perfect for anyone who has a passion for kimonos.

It should come as no surprise then that the jack of all trades who just adores kimonos has dedicated an impressive illustrative series to Disney heroines in perfectly designed kimonos. Each character's kimono is unique with details that are an important part of the character's original story.
