When the length of the kimono is too long
Hello, I'm Yukiwa!
In a previous blog I said, "Even if the kimono doesn't fit your height, it's okay to prioritize your desire for it!"
This time, we will continue from there. We will introduce some tips on how to beautifully adjust the length of the hem even if the kimono is a little short.
The key is to use two waist straps .
How do I adjust a kimono length that is too long?
In case of a basic hem with one waist string
First, tie the first waist string in the usual position, and the length of the hem will be about this.
Fine adjustment with two waist straps
Next, tie the other strand a little higher, and your hem will be this length.
See, it can be adjusted. This way you can wear it and show off the previous pattern beautifully !
What is the ideal length for a hem?
The ideal length for a hem is 5 to 6 cm. Place your palm over it and the width from your index finger to your little finger is the perfect guideline.
(When putting it on someone else, try it with your fingers down, and when putting it on yourself, try it with your thumbs up.)
You don't necessarily need two waist straps.
Please adjust it according to the length and condition of the garment.
However, if the adjustment is too small and only one screw is tightened at a high position,
Even if the length of the hem is good , it may still flare out .
On the other hand, if the length is too short and the hem cannot be removed,
We do not recommend wearing it as men do, as it can easily become untidy.
It's fine if it's just hidden inside the obi, but we recommend making a little hem ☆
At Yukinwa, we list detailed measurements such as length and sleeve width on the product pages.
Please use this as a reference when shopping.
