How do you choose a kimono when buying one?
Hello, this is Yukinuwa.
How do I choose the size of my kimono?
When you purchase a kimono,
If you buy ready-made clothes, you can choose from sizes such as S, M, or L according to your height.
If you purchase it at a kimono shop or department store,
There are two types of obi: standard size and long size.
The basic principle of making a kimono is to measure yourself and have it tailored to fit you perfectly.
Even if you are the same height, your arm length and other body types may differ.
Chest width (hip size) varies from person to person.
What are the dimensions of recycled kimonos?
So, what about recycled clothing?
...Think about it for a moment.
Yes! These are the measurements of the person who originally tailored the kimono.
(Of course)
And your body type is probably different from that person's.
(This is also obvious)
Even if the body type is exactly the same,
The way measurements are taken varies depending on the purpose for which the kimono is being made.
- If you are having tea, choose a wider seat so that your front looks nice when you sit down.
- For those who will be dancing, the sleeves should be longer so that it is easier to hold the cuffs.
