The formal wear for unmarried women (the highest formal wear). Black-based ones are called Kuro-furisode, others are Iro-furisode. Hon-furisode are characterized by thick hem facing (Suso-fuki) and sleeve opening facing (Sodeguchi-fuki), and a long length so the hem trails. In the case of Ō-furisode, cotton padding is inserted in the facing. The lining fabric added to hems and sleeve openings is called Suso-mawashi (Hakkake), and in Ō-furisode the same dyed fabric as the outer fabric is used, called “Tomo-hakkake.”
