Today we'll be talking about which size kimono will fit you best.
Kimono come in a variety of shapes and sizes.When wearing a kimono for the first time, have you ever had trouble deciding which size to choose?Knowing these points will come in handy when making your selection.
Three important points
・ Look for a length that is within ±5cm of your height
Example) If you are 160cm tall, you can wear it comfortably if the length is 155~165cm.
・Sleeve length
Sleeve length and sleeve length are related to arm length.
The thing we want you to pay attention to most is sleeve length.
Sleeve length is the length from the center of the kimono to the end of the sleeve.
If this is extremely short, a lot of fabric will be visible around the wrist.
If you want to create ruffles at the end of the sleeve, it's okay if it's a little shorter.
・About the waist
If you choose a smaller size, the collar and hem will turn up when you move around while wearing it.
Choose XX for peace of mind
If your favorite kimono pattern is too small, you can try wearing it as a hakama, decorating it, or remaking it.
