Please comment before purchasing. ⚫ Accessories needed for dressing If you are a professional dresser, this set will allow you to dress without any problems (check with the dressing location). Package contents may change. ⚫ Sleeve length (Yukitake) is important If it's too long, the overall size may not fit, and "moe sleeves" will look sloppy and the cuffs will get dirty. If it's too short, your wrists will be exposed, resulting in an unfortunate appearance. Some people use removable attached sleeves or lace gloves to compensate. ⚫ Types and colors of obiage (sash scarf) Plain black crepe obiage can be used for mourning attire,紬 (tsumugi), and komon (casual kimono). Plain white crepe is for tomesode (formal kimono for married women), etc. For furisode (long-sleeved kimono for unmarried women), use a mode style like black and white or red and black. Otherwise... The overuse of black and white crepe obiage on Mercari is noticeable. Please check with those who usually wear kimono. ⚫ Obi (sash) that can be used for furisode and its length Furisode is the first formal attire for unmarried women. Use a fukuro obi (formal obi) or maru obi (round obi) suitable for formal wear. Also, elaborate decorative knots that create many wings require length. If you use a simple fukurusu or bunko musubi, you can barely tie it with 410cm or more. Ideally, the obi should be 430cm or more. Solid black or solid white obis are not very suitable. ⚫ Collar fitting angle (skill test) ⚫ How to show the han-eri (collar) If the sleeve length is short, you may show more of the han-eri. However, showing too much is not like a coming-of-age ceremony, and the sizes of the nagajuban (undershirt) and furisode may not match. The opposite is also NG. ⚫ Sleeve length and sleeve width If the sizes of the furisode and nagajuban do not match, the juban may stick out or gather under the sleeves. Especially, be careful with slippery, inexpensive, ready-made polyester nagajuban. ⚫ The role of obiage The obiage prevents the obi-makura (sash pillow) from slipping and hides the strings and obi-makura. There are many listings that only fold it for appearance and create pleats, just inserting it between the obi and the kimono. It will not have the same volume in normal dressing. Also, tulle ribbons and lace do not function as obiage. ⚫ Sleeve length Rentals are becoming mainstream, and the sizes don't match, so the number of young ladies whose sleeves are almost touching the floor is increasing. There is a risk of stepping on the sleeves and concern about dirt under the sleeves. You can wear a large furisode at the coming-of-age ceremony, but it is originally the sleeve length worn by a bride. For the coming-of-age ceremony, a medium furisode of around 100cm or around the calf. The sleeve length when tailoring is = height x 0.7 ⚫ Regarding shibori (tie-dye), the following site is very easy to understand. ↓ https://cho-ya.co.jp/2019/11/17/soushibori_furisode_kinutaya/ #MarinFurisode
