Different types of Obi tying
Me in Furosode Kimono !
There are many inner layers to wear so you do bulk out!! But it does keep you warm in harsh Japanese winters !
Don’t Panic !
Wearing Kimono is NOT hard !
Just takes practice !
Layer by layer – onion system !
Tying obi is fun & many ways!
Kimonos absolutely beautiful!
Walking in Kimono
Walking in kimono takes practice
Kimono doesn’t stretch or widen
Short steps
Trick is bend the knees
Shuffle forward
Hair Style
Hair Style is very important
You must reveal the nape of the neck
This was & still is deemed very attractive
You twist the hair & then hold in place with chopstick like decoration
If you cant find special “kazari” use red or bright chopsticks
Display Nape of Neck
NOW ITS YOUR TURN TO WEAR KIMONO !!!
Choose a Kimono & Obi of mine that you like

Practice makes perfect !
Well Done!
