Sukiyaki has sold collaborative products in the cultural areas of anime, manga, music, and more, such as the Rose of Versailles and Hatsune Miku.
Their latest collaborative project, Cardcaptor Sakura, was serialized from 1996 to 2000 in Nakayoshi, a girl’s magazine published by Kodansha, as well as being made into an anime series.
This is a special chance for fans of the hugely popular Cardcaptor Sakura series to get their hands on their beloved outfits from the series, but with a modern style.
All items cost 14,800 yen (excluding tax) and are available in sizes 1 to 6.
Tomoe Elementary School Long Sleeve Sailor Dress
This is a long sleeve one-piece dress inspired by the uniform of Tomoe Elementary School, the school that protagonist Sakura Kinomoto attends.
Sukiyaki has arranged the elementary school uniform to be suitable for adults. The ties and ribbons can be removed.
Battle Dress Model: Sakura’s Cherry Blossom Dress
This dress is based on the battle dress that Sakura wears in the first volume of the comics.
The harmonizing pink tone contrasts with the deep burgundy ribbons.
Battle Dress Model: Sakura’s Alice Dress
This dress revisits the Alice in Wonderland-style dress that Sakura wore in the September 1996 issue of Nakayoshi.
Although at a glance it appears to have an apron attached, it is actually a combined one-piece dress.
Battle Dress Model: Sakura’s Stars and Stripes High Waist Dress
This dress borrows a motif of a dress used when Sakura transforms the Sword Card into a Sakura Card.
Reminiscent of a bolero, this design creates a chic impression with deep red and dark grey.
Either for special occasions or everyday wear, these dresses are must-have fashion items for fans! Try on one, and see what it’s like to be Sakura!
