It's still in a shrunken state. I heard that "yunoshi" (steaming and stretching fabric) is the way to widen it... I'd like to ask someone who knows more about this. It's in a temporary sewn state, so it seems like it would be good material for remaking. The color is as shown in the last photo. Please note that we may send it compressed to a small size. *Please read the profile and understand before purchasing.
