kimono shopping

[aimeekitty]

So, I'd really like some either white, grey, or I guess even black would be ok...

but I would prefer to find some white shibori fabric (like the type that you could use for an obiage (that's the right term I hope? the part that you tuck into the obi at the top?)

The fabric style I want is that bunched up type, I believe the term is shibori, right? (or is it chirimen?)
Most I see this way, this bunched up looking fabric,... it's always colored. is it even possible to find it in white? (like this, but in white, grey, or a light colorless look.)

also, is there any place to get a white kimono? most kimono are either really really expensive solid ones, or cheaper and have some sort of pattern. I really just want a "not too thin" white kimono. If I have to, i'll make it, but I'd rather not. Too much to do!

Also, does anyone who lives around LA, know of a place I could get a big straw ninja-style hat? (like this?)
