March 7, 2010 - Kimono Practice
Today, okaa-san (my host mother) decided to help me try on a kimono. We can wear kimonos for the graduation ceremony, so it was a practice run.
I first put on the tabi socks.
Then there are two layers of fabric, and a lot of different kinds of rope and belts to tighten the waist area.
It was so fun! 
She said the sleeves were a bit short, and that she can rent (from her friend who owns a shop) a furisode with long dangling sleeves with is better suited for my age.
Okaa-san gifted me with this yukata and obi belt. The yukata seems to be the same shape as a kimono, but it is made of cotton instead of silk. Also, you don't need an extra layer under it, and the waist isn't as cinched.
Hehe, not the most flattering photo.
The back is so cute!
