This is an excellent kimono belt that combines a collar belt and chest string. For those who want to simplify their kimono dressing by reducing the number of strings. It beautifully and firmly secures the collar and also functions as a chest string, providing a secure fit. The wide, stretchy material conforms to the body while reducing discomfort. Can be used with kimonos and under-kimonos. Purchased in 2021. It has been taken out of the box but never used. Hoping someone will use it. There is a storage odor.
