the corset is the basis for all fitted garments; remove the sleeves from a tailored jacket and you essentially have a corset, with the fisheye darts in the front and back panels etc

the apron is the basis for strapped, sleeveless, and waisted dresses, it turns into overalls, overalls become pants...

the kimono comes to us directly from paul poiret, arguably the first modern fashion designer depending on your opinion of charles worth. poiret frequently reference the far east, as did his closest contemporary, fortuny, and this was picked up with chanel, gres and vionnet by way of greece... speaking of, it also comes to us from our own sartorial history; the structure of a kimono bears a lot of similarities to tunics; the tunic is essentially a huge cross with a slashed open neckline and pinned or sewn up the sides, the kimono is just a bunch of rectangular pieces of fabric basted together etc. the feature we call a "kimono sleeve" is actually not the sleeve used on kimonos, but is similar to the sleeve used on tunics.
