uchikake Kimono (打掛) is a highly formal kimono worn by a bride or at a stage performance. The uchikake is often heavily brocaded and is supposed to be worn outside the actual kimono and obi, as a sort of coat.

The Iro-uchikake was originally the formal attire for wives of samurais in the Muromachi period and worn during fall season. They gradually came to be preferred by rich merchants and aristocrats during the Edo period and are now one of the most popular styles of traditional dress for women desiring a traditional Japanese wedding
