Is an integral part of Japanese culture. National clothing accompanies the inhabitants of the country of the Rising Sun from the 5th century AD, which was borrowed from the Chinese people during the course of history.

Modern kimono

The word “kimono” used to mean a set of clothes that included underwear, socks, and shoes. For wedding, tea and other ceremonies, there was always a different set.

Traditional female kimono

Now, kimono is understood as a wide, almost dimensionless robe tied with a belt.

Women's kimono is the most feminine outfit, because it was Asian women who have always been considered one of the most attractive

There are many options for sewing this bathrobe.

Kimono is the traditional clothing of men, women and children, but it was the female kimono that turned into a kind of symbol of Japan

The carrier can choose any color of the fabric, material, sew it in such a length that it will feel comfortable.

The length of a classic T-shaped bathrobe extends to the ankles. All seams in it are straight. The kimono has a collar and wide sleeves.

Female kimono - the enchanting charm of femininity

By tradition, Japanese clothes are smelled “on the right side”, regardless of who put it on, a woman or a man.

Kimono is the traditional clothing of the Japanese, which remains very popular in Japanese society to this day.

Whereas in Japan the customs of national clothing, borrowed from the Chinese people, are still kept in customs, in the modern world kimonos are worn more often at home.

Where to begin

Make a pattern and not be difficult.

In Japan, female kimono represents beauty and nobility

The first thing you need to decide on the material.The fabric can be silk, satin, cotton, linen. Less commonly used is synthetic.

Combining convenience and style, a female kimono rightfully occupies an honorable place in the wardrobe of the beautiful half of humanity

In Japan, material is sold in rolls of 39 cm wide and 12 m long. You can use a fabric of standard sizes. The pattern can be any suitable for Chinese or Japanese motifs.

Kimono fabric

When patterning, it is important to consider the length of the clothes. It can be adjusted if it is possible to fold under the belt. Sleeves are usually made about 54 cm long and 75 cm wide.

How to sew a kimono with your own hands

For cutting, a fabric with a width of 110 cm is taken. If it is assumed that the dress will be worn by a full person, it is necessary to provide a supply of fabric for inserting wedges on the sides. The wedge is sewn from the waist into the side seams.

1. The backrest can consist of both two parts, and be one-piece. Cut the back.
2. The neck is immediately marked in the back. Its size is a diameter equal to the semi-girth of the neck.
3. The front of the kimono is the same rectangle as the back, but divided into two more equal parts in the middle of the back.
4. To make sleeves, pre-cut rectangles folded in half are sewn.

Japanese kimono cut details

For an oblique sleeve, a square of 100x100 cm is cut out, 30 cm are measured from the top, the resulting triangle is cut. Place the cut connected to the base of the pattern.

1. The back is sewn to the front along the shoulder line.
2. We sew in sleeves: the resulting “pipes” are applied in the same folded form to the front and back of the future dress. They are stitched down from the edge of the shoulder.
3. Under the sleeve continue the seam connecting the back and front.
4. To increase the smell, inserts are sewn between the front of the dressing gown. Be sure to make a triangular cut for the collar.
5. Collar: you will need a piece of fabric 12 cm wide. The length of the collar is three kimono lengths. I fold this cut in half along the entire length, the middle of the collar is connected to the middle of the neck from the back, and sewn to the triangular sections on the extensions.
6. The finished belt is a rectangular product 30 cm wide, 4 m long.

Features of sewing a kimono

Even if the dress is sewn with your own hands, you still need to reckon with Japanese traditions. Together with the material of the fabric and the pattern on it, you can pay attention to other features of the clothing.

Traditional japanese kimono

The pattern consists of rectangular details, unlike European clothes, where complex rounded shapes prevail. Rectangle was needed in order to save on expensive material. The Japanese use soft threads for sewing, thus preventing the pull of matter.

Japanese kimono - aesthetics in detail

Continuing the theme of differences from European clothes, it is worth mentioning that the kimono focuses only on the shoulders and waist, hiding all the flaws of the figure.  In Europe, the bumpiness of the body is appreciated, while in Japan it is believed that uniformity and flatness are the standard of beauty.

The Japanese style is soft kimonos, a flat cut without tucks, shiny satin or silk, delicate flowers, embroidered dragons

However, one Japanese dress was not enough to talk about the beauty of the girl. A large role was played by her facial features and makeup.

Complex obi

A long belt for a female kimono was important to fix correctly and beautifully at the waist. This indicated that the woman had good taste.

Obi belt for kimono

The art of tying obi, which is exactly what the Japanese call the belt, was taught by special masters. It is important that in the end the bow is on the back of the owner of the kimono, only women of easy virtue can wear the bow in front.

Obi belt - an integral attribute of the Japanese costume
Obi tying is a science

After complex manipulations to tie the belt, it can be used as a pocket. Obi easily holds a fan, a flowering branch of sakura and other decorations.

Obi belt was made from expensive types of silk fabrics

For different cases, use different techniques of tying obi. In everyday life, they wear an ordinary classic bow. For celebrations and ceremonies, the dress belt is wrapped so that its ends fall beautifully.

Obi Belt - Asian Highlight

Silk threads or strips of fabric decorated with stones or beads are released from the center of the bow.

Those girls who have mastered the difficult art of wearing a belt can tie it with their own hands so that from a distance the bow seems to be a dagger plugged into the belt from afar. There are many other original ways.

How to wear a kimono

Sewing a Japanese dress with your own hands was not so difficult. It remains to find out what rules must be observed when wearing national clothes.

The process of putting on a kimono becomes a creative act that turns everyone into an artist creating an individual image

Having dressed in a kimono, you should straighten your back, slightly pull in your chin, and relax your shoulders. All movements should be smooth.

The Japanese national costume emphasizes not only the appearance of a person, but his character

It is indecent to show those parts of the body that matter hides.

The philosophy of the Japanese costume is based on three concepts: love, beauty and etiquette

This wise rule appeared in an equalization of girlish attractiveness and fading youth of adult women.

Today in Japan kimono clubs are widespread, where people learn to choose and wear it.

The modern woman is already far from perfect wearing a kimono. This type of clothing in Japan is no longer everyday, its appearance has transformed, it has become more convenient, but still remains popular.

How to wear a kimono

Sewing a Japanese kimono is a rather difficult task, which may require patience and a certain skill and skill in sewing, and it can also be time-consuming.

A close look at the Japanese casual kimono reveals that there is nothing complicated about tailoring. Almost all parts are rectangular, there are no special roundings and, that you can just make a pattern. Previously, even the size wasn’t practically one and adapted to each person in a special way of dressing him.

However, everything is a bit wrong. Traditionally, kimono is sewn from a material with a width of 30-40 centimeters. Depending on the type of kimono and patterns, about 14 meters of fabric may be required. Japanese craftsmen who paint silk put special marks so that later when sewing it was possible to correctly cut out individual parts and correctly combine painting. This is especially important when making zucanage and homongs, kurometometosode and irotometomode.

If the p / m of the material is of the European type, then it is quite possible to use half of this dyne, but it is still worth taking a preliminary measurement.

The benefit in sewing a kimono from Japanese material is that the edges of the material do not need to be closed and the sewing machine does not need to be used, as it can ruin the silk material. Another reason why kimonos were sewn by hand with small stitches is that kimonos can be taken apart for washing and sewn again.

In order to correctly make a pattern of a classic kimono, you should know that the outfit consists of a number of parts:

1. Protective collar (共 衿 / 共 襟, tomoeri, if from the same material, or 掛 衿 / 掛 襟, kakeeri, if from darker)
2.collar (本 衿 / 本 襟, hon’eri or 地 衿 / 地 襟, jieri)
3. the right main body (前身 頃, maemigoro)
4. left main part (dito)
5. sleeves (袖, sode)
6. sleeve pocket (袂, tamoto)
7. the left lane of overlap (衽, okumi)
8. the right lane of overlap (dito)
9. The intersection point of the kimono floor and collar (剣 先, kensaki)
10. Kimono length (身 丈, mitake)
11. Sleeve Length (裄 丈, yukitake)
12. Shoulder Width (肩 幅, katahaba)
13. The width of the rukkava (袖 幅, sodehaba)
14. Sleeve Length (袖 丈, sodetake)
15. Place of sleeve rishiva (袖口, sodeguchi)
16. Cuffs (袖 付, sodetsuke)

It should also be noted that for female kimonos in the armpit area there are elements of sleeves (身 八 つ 口, miyatsukuchi / miyatsuguchi) and the kimono itself (振 八 つ 口, furiyatsuguchi or 振 り 口, furikuchi), which do not stitch. The definition comes from the number of “open” or non-crosslinked elements, of which there are 8 in total on the sleeves, neck and body.

Cutting from Japanese material is performed by the following method:

s - sleeve length, m - kimono length

1. right sleeve
2. left sleeve
3. the right main body
4. left main body
5. the left lane of overlap
6. right lane overlap
7. Collar guard
8. collar

Sewing begins with the fact that you need to fold the right and left main parts in half and sew the back. From this place (point) stitching on the back in each direction you need to put aside 10 centimeters.
Then another strip of material is taken and cut along to make the left and right overlap strip, which are sewn respectively to the main floors of the kimono. The length of these strips should correspond to the length from the bottom edge of the kimono to the level of the navel.

It is also worth recalling that the total length of the kimono is determined from the shoulder by the ankles of the future owner (if there is a specific person). In other cases, if the kimono is a little long, then a thin belt is used, with which you can adjust the length and then it will be hidden under the ob.

A cut for the collar will be made along this line. The collar neckline is formed in an oblique line down towards the hip and ends at the height of the navel.
Sleeves with a width of 30-40 cm are cut to the navel level (this length of sleeves is intended for married women, for unmarried girls it is 100-110 cm.) As a rule, the distance from the shoulder to the navel is taken and multiplied by 2.

As mentioned above, the collar consists of 3 parts, including a protective strip. The collar has a width of 5-8 cm (10-16 cm since it folds in half) and the length of the corresponding neckline of the collar and sewn on the right and left sides of the overlap. The protective bar intersects at point 9 and can be determined by the point of the solar plexus of the future owner of the outfit.

The sleeves are sewn together so that approximately 20-25 cm of free space is left in the cuff region. Sleeves to the main parts of the kimono are sewn only in the shoulder area, thus, in the armpit area, parts of the kimono and sleeves remain unstitched

From the technical side, this may turn out to be somewhat problematic, but do not despair. At the very end, you need to hem the hem and you're done. However, depending on the cost of the material and the time / quality of processing, a kimono can do with a large amount equivalent to the cost of a car, or even two. In fact, this is a very painstaking and difficult work and there are a dozen other masters of this art left in Japan, the art is considered to be endangered, which is why everything is so expensive and so difficult.

And for both information a little about the sleeves

The sleeves of men's kimonos are even shorter than those of tomesode.

Kimono is a classic thing in Japan worn by men, women and little children.

Its cut is very simple, so if you need to make an image in the Japanese style, you can make such an outfit with your own hands with the smallest financial investments. For a lightweight Japanese-style robe, a short knee-length kimono can be used. If you are planning to sew a kimono with your own hands, it is useful to read about this robe, because the Japanese kimono differs quite a lot from the Chinese one.

Simply put, a kimono is a wraparound robe. It can be direct or flared, most things depend on the size of the product and the image created.

These beautiful bathrobes can become ordinary comfortable clothes for home.

In addition, on the basis of this pattern, you can make many different blouses, outfits and jackets. Often kimonos are made for children who go to judo or karate. That is why you need to read about the construction of such a pattern. Do not try to sew a sports kimono for boys from a sheet at home - it will burst in the first lesson.

It is believed that a kimono is just a big men's robe that will fit any figure. The classical width of the back of this product is 60 cm, which, with the help of a belt, is draped exactly according to the figure and the thing becomes visually smaller.

But if the volumes are very large, then wedges must be added to the main pattern at the seams. Another unique feature of this product is that kimono has no fastenerexcept for the waist belt.

Classic male kimono they create karate from a fabric with a width of about 30 cm. This requires making a stitch part of the back, but if there is material wider, then you do not need to do it, unless, of course, you want to create an image of an ancient robe.

In the cut of this thing only apply geometric figures. The back is a simple rectangle with the desired length and width of 60 cm.

The shelves in front of the bottom are 45 cm, and in the part of the waist, the edge is cut off at an angle of 15 degrees to the neck. To process a cut of the throat, a strip of tissue 10 cm wide is taken, which, when finished, creates a five-centimeter strip.

In addition to kimono, karate exercises will also require hakama.

Classic female model  worn by Japanese women, stands out for its length, which is usually created 20 cm more than necessary in height.

Sleeve pattern

The sleeves are also cut out in the shape of rectangles, but in a classic robe these are not narrow narrow sleeves familiar to everyone, strictly on the hands, but rather rather wide and corner-sewn parts with a hole for the wrist in the upper corner. The entrance to the sleeve is also in the upper corner from the opposite side of our rectangle.

The sleeve is sewn into the main part of the kimono not in a full cut, but only in half, and the large side of the sleeve folded in half does not fall on the side of the handle, but to the hanging edge.

The remaining simple edges are sutured with a corner. This creates unusual look, which distinguishes this Japanese robe from other, similar in cut products.

Another cut of the sleeve for this garment can be created based on the trapezoid, the top of which creates a narrow sleeve, and the bottom is fully expanded.

Kimono Fabric

A person studying Japanese history will easily tell you that there are several types of kimono. There are models specifically for married and unmarried women, men and children, and for various holidays. But if you do not need to learn such subtleties, then you can take any high-quality fabric for sewing a dressing gown.

Women's kimonos are usually sewn with floral motifs. Quite often, bright fabric is combined with plain or you can choose materials with an elegant and cute pattern, a smooth transition of parts of the background shade from dark and bright to translucent, which is barely visible. It is these products that can be taken as the main source in creating a great kimono.

A Japanese women's robe must be with a wide belt, and for it you need to take exactly plain material. The fabric can be in the tone of the main fabric, or, conversely, stand out.

Women's bathrobe kimono

Before creating a home gown for girls, you need to take measurements and make a pattern.

To work, you will need:

1. Three meters tracing paper.
2. A simple pencil.
3. Ruler for measurements.

In order to create a drawing of a robe, you need to find out the circumference of your chest.

We draw a rectangle A-B-B-D, its length should be equal to twice the required length of the dressing gown, the width of the pattern should be equal to 1/4 of the circumference of the chest with an increase of fourteen cm. Let us examine, for example, the forty-eighth size (chest volume \u003d 96 centimeters) and the length of the thing is 120 centimeters.

The width of our pattern \u003d 96/4 + 14 cm \u003d 38 centimeters.

Creation of the front - the backs of the robe. From a and b we measure down 120 centimeters, the created points are denoted by the letters e and g, we attach them with a dotted line, this is the back bend line - the front.

In order to create neck, from the point D we remove the segment equal to ten cm to the right, the point is denoted by the letter E, from t. D we remove the segment equal to fifty cm down, mark the point three, from D we remove the segment three cm up - the point And; then we connect it with the point E of the curve, and the points E and 3 - a straight line. From point Ж up and down we remove thirty centimeters and mark the marks (x) - places where we will stitch the sleeves.

Sleeve creation.

The length of the sleeve is a free quantity, everything will depend on how long the sleeve you need to make (in this case forty cm), the width of the sleeve is 1.3 semicircles of the chest + fourteen centimeters (48: 3 + 14 \u003d thirty centimeters).

Now our pattern is a simple rectangle forty centimeters high, sixty centimeters wide.

Creating a pocket (two parts): the dimensions of the part are sixteen cm wide and twenty cm high.

Cut kimono.

Consumption of our material: with a width of ninety cm: two lengths of kimono + one hundred and ten cm (sleeves, pockets, allowances for seams). 120 × 2 + 110 \u003d 350 centimeters; five meters of slanting inlay for our front trim and back gate to match the fabric.

How to sew a man’s kimono bathrobe step by step

Description of work:

So we figured out sewing a kimono.

The basis of the Japanese costume, both male and female, is a kimono. What is it, hardly need to be explained. In Japanese, kimono also means clothing in general. The kimono cut is completely linear-rectangular. The traditional kimono was made of about 9 m of fabric 30 cm wide. The main features of the cut are visible in the figure.

Cut

The diagram shows the “economical” cutting of a kimono without triangular wedges in the sides of the fabric with a width of about 110 cm. The fabric is cut along all solid lines. Attention: add the allowance for hemming to the desired length of the kimono, otherwise the dimensions of the parts are given with allowances for the seams. The neck does not need to be cut out until the back is sewn along the middle seam.

The given pattern is historical in the sense that the back and shelves consist of two parts. Of course, they can be made whole-cut.

The sleeve length of 54 cm is usually enough in excess (you can always shorten it), for a very tall and long-armed person you will have to cut them differently. A sleeve width of about 75 cm is normal for a kosode; in some varieties of kimono, the sleeves can be significantly wider.

Sewing

If the fabric is “loose”, zigzag all the edges before sewing.

1. Sew two parts of the back. Mark and cut the neckline on the resulting part (do not forget to leave a seam allowance here).
2. Sew the front shelves to the rear at the shoulder seams (from the edge of the shoulder to the neck) and the extensions of the shelves to the shelves.
3. Fold the sleeves in half (the fold line is dashed) and sew from the shoulder to the wrist to make two “tubes”.
4. Sew the sleeves with the kimono, aligning the middle of the sleeve with the shoulder seam. This can be done in three ways: to sew the sleeve over the entire width (the kosode was sometimes sewn), sew only the upper part and sew the remaining part, or sew the upper part and leave the rest open (this is most often done, especially on multi-layer kimonos).
5. Sew the sides from the seam of the sleeve to the bottom.
6. Try on a kimono, align your shoulders and mid-back, and smell. Fold the triangles on the shelves from the point of the neck to the level where the collar should go. Pin with pins and (of course, removing the kimono) cut off the excess fabric.
7. Sew the three parts of the collar into one long strip, fold it in half, sew, twist and iron (you will get a tape about 5 cm wide).
8. Sew the collar to the kimono, aligning the middle of the collar with the middle of the back (it is better to sew from the middle in both directions), either to the bottom of the kimono or to the obtuse corners of the smell edge (as in the figure above). Cut off the extra length of the collar.
9. Finally, hem all edges.

Kimono - clothes "dimensionless". Its width along the back is about 60 cm, an odor allowance can be made on the shelves (in modern kimono it is, historically - when it happens). The length depends not so much on the growth of the owner, but on how they are going to wear it, because kimonos can always be shortened by folding under the belt. It is better to sew a male kimono about the length that you need, a female kimono can be 20 centimeters longer. Triangular wedges to increase width are optional. If they are, then they are sewn in from about the waist.

The collar is made of a rectangular piece of fabric and usually comes to the waistband (under which its edges hide), but can reach the hem. What looks like a figured neckline of a skirt in the upper layers of a historical multilayer kimono is the edges of a rather wide collar.

Hakama

These are wide, usually folded, trousers (or — less well known — a skirt) with cuts from waist to hip. Thanks to this, hakama, like kimono, can be worn both on a fat and a thin person. The female hakama has a belt higher - it is tied under the chest.

Cut

A fabric about 110 cm wide is cut along the indicated lines. As for a kimono, you need to add a few centimeters to the hem to the length of the hakama. Otherwise, seam allowances are included in the pattern.

Sewing

If the fabric is "loose", first process all the edges with a zigzag.

1. Sew in pairs the details of the front and rear halves of each leg (you should get 4 identical parts).
2. Sew the two front parts together along the middle seam from the top by 30 cm (for women’s hakama this length can be longer, say 40 cm, because they are worn higher), just sew the back.
3. From the outer upper edges of each of the resulting parts, bend a triangle of approx. 12 cm from the top and 22 cm from the side, cut off the excess fabric, leaving an allowance for the hem and hem.
4. Take a gusset, fold it at an angle to the end of the middle 30-centimeter seam of the front half of the hakama and sew on both sides to the left and right legs. Do the same with the back half and the remaining edges of the gusset.
5. Sew the front half from the back from gusset to the bottom.
6. Now it's time to lay the folds. In front of them, usually from 3 to 6 on each side, they are directed towards the center.

   With correctly laid folds, the width of the hakama is three times less than the original width of the material, that is, as a result, the distance from the middle seam to the edge should be about 20 cm. Important: the folds on the hakama of a real samurai are firmly smoothed (no soft draperies).
   At the back, one large fold is laid on each side, with an approach of 2-3 cm to the middle seam, which is why the back of the hakama is slightly narrower than the front.
   Sew pleats along the outer edge.

7. Sew the sides from cuts to the bottom.
8. Hem the legs.
9. Well, finally, it remains to sew and sew the belts. For each of the belts, the parts are stitched into one long strip, the strip is folded in half along, stitched, twisted and ironed. It turns out two ribbons with a width of about 5 cm, the front should be longer. They are sewn to the top of the hakama, so that the middle of each belt coincides with the middle seam.

How is it worn

Previously, the lower kimono was necessarily worn on the bottom (it is called juban). Now, instead of him, they usually put on a white scarf and, possibly, a petticoat. The scarf (or collar of the lower kimono) should be visible. Both men and women smell the kimono so that the right gender is below and the left is above (according to European concepts, this is called "masculine"), and not otherwise. On the contrary - only with the protagonist of the funeral rite.

Next comes the turn of the belts. Two can be seen in any picture (many people know that the wide belt is called “obi”). In reality, there are four of them. First of all, the kimono rises to the desired length, and a narrow Kosi-Khimo belt is tied around the waist (it crosses at the back and is tied at the front). Then the kimono is finally leveled, wrinkles, etc. are smoothed out, and the whole structure is fixed with a slightly wider date-jime belt. The crease formed by fitting the length can be seen from under the obi, then the illusion is created that the costume consists of two parts.

Obi itself is a strip of fabric (the modern official obi has a length of 4 m and a width of 60 cm, folded - 30), which is twice wrapped around the waist and tied behind with a complex bow or knot. Tying methods is a separate art. One of the relatively simple ways is a double bow-tie. If you need not a reconstruction, but a stylization of a costume, you can tie or even sew a bow in advance and make a secret fastener on your belt - after all, even a good fabric is wrinkled in place of knots, and a bow tied for the second or third time may lose its decorativeness - keep the finished bow beautiful easier.

Finally, a decorative obi-jime cord belt is worn over the obi, its knot or clasp located in front. With a male kimono, it is somewhat simpler: its belt is narrower (no more than 10 cm) and runs along the waist or below the abdomen. A fold at the waist and a decorative cord are missing.

Hakama is worn over a short (up to the middle of the thigh) kimono. Both belts are necessarily wrapped around the waist and tied in front. A haori cape or a long top dress (for women) can be worn on top. Both usually also have a linear cut.

The cut of all Japanese clothes is very similar. The kimono, especially the rich kimono, is sewn, of course, from natural silk, and it is specially decorated. Today, artificial silk has proven itself perfectly. The main thing when choosing a fabric is to ensure that it does not crinkle too much. For this reason, it is strongly discouraged to use the lining fabric - almost any lining fabric is wrinkled strongly. By the way, a yukata (for some reason there is sometimes confusion with this name) is just a cotton kimono, summer or home, worn without a lower kimono. The difference from the "real" kimono is only in the material.

Kimono is a traditional Japanese clothing worn not only by women, but also by men. The cut of a Japanese bathrobe can be straight or with wedges, it depends on the purpose of the clothes and their size. In this article, we describe in detail the process of making a kimono.

To begin, determine the length of the robe. Men always wear kimonos the same way, and women can sew such clothes of maximum length. There is a possibility of shortening the length due to a crease at the waist. It is fixed with a wide belt. The width of the fabric should be at least 110 cm. Remember, a kimono is a dimensionless dressing gown, its width is usually about 60 cm. If the person is fat, then wedges are additionally sewn, which are located starting from the waistline. Cut the fabric into four straight pieces. The width of the two segments will be 38 cm, and the remaining two pieces - 18. The short segments are strips. If the fabric pours, treat all sections with a zigzag or overlock. Sew two parts of the back. One-piece kimono can be sewn. In this case, the back is represented by one large piece. After making the back, make a neck. Make a collar, it is represented by a wide harness made of fabric. Just sew a long piece 10 cm wide in half lengthwise. Turn out the part and iron it. Now sew the part to the neckline. The collar can be sewn to the waist or along the entire length of the product. Take this into account when making the pattern. Sleeves can be made in several ways. In Japanese kimonos there are very wide sleeves that do not sew together from the bottom. To make a straight sleeve, cut a piece of fabric 50 cm wide and 65 cm long. Sew on the sleeve after stitching its lower edges first. If you want a kimono with sharp sleeves, cut out squares 100 × 100 cm in size. Measure from the top 30 cm and cut a triangle. Sew the cut point to the base. As a result, you get an oblique sleeve, sharp with the edge. If you want to sew kimonos with wedges, you will have to buy some fabric. It is necessary to make a pattern of classic straight kimono and sew wedges on the sides. At the widest point, the length of the wedge will be 30 cm. To determine the length of the wedge, measure the distance from the waist to the bottom of the product. Build a triangle using these measurements. Sew the part in the area of \u200b\u200bthe side seams of the product. It remains to sew a belt. To do this, cut a piece of fabric 2 m long. Usually, the belt is wrapped twice around the waist, so its length should be 2.5 or 3 times the circumference of the waist. The width of the belt is 20 cm, so the size of the fabric should be 40 × 200 cm. Sew a piece in the middle and iron it. Sew cross sections.

For satin kimono use satin or silk. These fabrics are strewed, so all seams must be processed on the overlock. Try to give preference to bright fabrics with a floral pattern. Kimonos with hieroglyphs look very beautiful. In Japan, fabrics with different patterns and plain fabrics are rarely combined. Such clothes are worn on holidays and on weekdays, depending on this, fabric is chosen. Often use material embroidered with golden threads.
