Checking in at 180 cm, and I’m dying to see more tall girls in kimono! Also looking forward to actually putting these tips in to practice, especially the pleated susoyoke idea.

@Ed-wi7pd Год назад

You can always make a kimono to your liking( yes it’s a difficult option but it’s worth it) with practice and effort you can make your own beautiful kimono i myself made my first kimono and it ended kinda well not the best but for my first self made kimono it was good , or if you have the money you can always hire a professional to make it for you ( but it’s really a expensive option 🥲 )

@veilara966 8 месяцев назад

I'm 182cm and I love to wear them. Started as cosplay and I was curious and fell in love.

@TheMslove333 4 месяца назад

@veilara966 where do you find your height?

@amarahpickle9964 Год назад

I'm so happy you made this video! I just bought two vintage kimono I loved but they're about 18cm too short so I didn't know what I was going to do! Thank you for some ideas! I can't wait to try these 😊❤

@lisez4600 Год назад

thank you, now I can finally put on my short kimonos and go outside!

@nicolethompson3782 Год назад

The kimonos look so pretty. My problem is my curves. I have an overweight hourglass figure but I’m short. So my problem is usually getting the bottom to stay closed without the top being too bulky.

@dynademerritt5337 Год назад

Yeah she has some videos about padding, or hoseigi. I'm not sure that would help you at all but it's meant to change the silhouette of your body so maybe that could get you started? She also has a video on plus size--I've not watched it myself (I'm a twig with a curved spine so my booty sticks out more than it really should 😫).

@cap4life1 Год назад

You can add a panel to the lower front right side so that your hips are covered when you sit down.

@Sarcasmhime Год назад

I made a susoyoke with pleats like this after seeing the Homsue versions online! I made several pleated hems, and the susoyoke has buttons along the bottom edge so I can switch out the hems for different colours. I definitely need to make that elastic belt! I'm only 155cm but I still have several kimono that are too short 😭

@martyna7122 Год назад

This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you a lot! ♥

@TwistedPisces 7 месяцев назад

OMG with the obi matching the pleated hem is so cute!

@lottaraatikainen3942 Год назад

I wish I had seen this about a year ago. There was a very beautiful tsumugi kimono on sale then, but it was almost 20 cm shorter than I so I didn't buy it. Now I hope I would have bought it any way ;) Thank you for making this video. Now I know that in a tight spot it is possible to make even a too short kimono to look good :)

@BillyMatsunaga Год назад

Aaah! I hope you can find a similar one ❤️

@amaz6884 Год назад

Thank you very much for this video, I am happy to learn that it is ok to wear a kimono tsuitake :D lots of antique kimono are too short for me for an ohashori. And thank you very much for the sewing tutorial for a homsuehem :3 can't wait to sew one (or more ha ha)

Husband bought me two beautiful kimonos 10 years ago. Been stored since, they never were 100 percent my size being 175cm and big hipped. I am so grateful for your channel and this new information hacks on wearing a kimono just short and not wide enough. I cannot wait to try these on now! Thank you So much for your channel!

@dynademerritt5337 Год назад

I love a lot of things about this video. I really appreciate you being a supporter of the LGBTQA+ community, thank you again for making us feel safe and accepted 💖I really like the tips you had here, I've seen some techniques like the pleated skirt before but I like the others as well for the days I don't want that kind of look. Do you have a video or link for the elastic band you showed us in version two? I have a Ro-weave blue komon that I would love to wear in the traditional style with a new orange summer obi I just got, but it is just a bit too short and that would be a great way to remedy it.

@fujimama892 8 месяцев назад

I've just found your videos. I love the suggestions here. I've been studying Chanoyu in Seattle for over 30 years and used to wear kimono often. I've even hand-sewn my own lined silk kimono. I also have all the tools and quite a lot of material for kumihimo. I'm not very tall, but the years have altered my body so that I'm quite thick. I took note of how you positioned the front panels of the kimono that I'm hoping will make it possible to wear kimono comfortably again. I'm not sure I'll be able to wear kimono getting up and down in the tea room, however. My age is making it quite difficult to get up and down.

@unnecessarydelivery5549 Год назад

@ladyvesperbell8969 Год назад

This is genius I have a Kimono that fits relatively well but I was running into the too short issue with my yukata

@Siriastimeflies Год назад

Maybe I'd never noticed it before, but I feel like homesue hems were everywhere on instagram in the last 2 weeks! I personally am not too fond of the look, but you really made it work with the fluffy-looking obi =O

@moon-ud8tq 11 месяцев назад

I was surprised to see your Jaguar sewing machine. I have a small but heavy, sturdy one, bought in Japan many decades ago and it is orange colored. The pleated underskirt turned out great. I guess black would be the best color for it.

@happinessescape Год назад

This is so neat! I've been putting off watching this one because I am... 155cm and this will never be an issue for me, but it is fun to learn more about this. I think it's so funny (in sort of a sad way) that people just perceive you as taller just because of your appearance 😭 what a funky little world we live in. Have you seen the trailer for the upcoming Netflix show about Edo except it's a woman-run society (/female!Tokugawa specifically is the main character)? It's got a pretty lovely design scheme and a variety of kimono for, you know, social standing/context/such, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on some of the coords.

@sweetasbloodredjam Год назад

I don’t know if it would be completely inappropriate to leave the house that way (I have a feeling it probably would be…), but I always think that kimono look so comfy and gorgeous, with just the waist tie tied. It looks really airy and as if it would be great to stay cool in summer. Probably doesn’t help that this is the standard ‘disheveled bad boy’-look in historical dramas.

@cindylibbrecht662 Год назад

I love you video thank you very much they are very helpful. I was wandering could you do a video about men kimono, how to wear them etc. Please it would be awesome.

@lando6136 Год назад

I’m new here, it’s so nice that you show everything in details. This will be helpful when I took Japanese culture classes next semester when I have to wear kimono. But I’m short so most of the kimono is too long for me. Do you have any advice on it? Thank you.

Hi ! I love your videos! There are so helpful! Arigatougozaimasu! I was wondering if we can use short kimono, to shorten more and do a long haori, hanten I think it's the word. 😅 ? It's difficult to find those long haori so.... It could be a solution when we can sew to shorten the kimono. 😆 Thank you for your help ^^

Hi Matsunaga-san, I was just curious-- what kinds of dances are/were done in kimono? Did people participate in dances/dance parties in kimono?

@tylinious 7 месяцев назад

That obi is crazy! Im 172cm... i have a problem where my arms are too big to fit into the miyatsukuji (i probably spelled it wrong), so it makes it really hard to get all the winkles out

I am tall, even in America... I don't like the tall comments. Even in America. Yeah, I can't find pants that don't look like Capri... Kimono with ohashiri is impossible 😢 lol

Coming from a family with four members over 6' 6", I feel your pain. At least there are always kimono styles with hakama to hide our hems.

Im late for the party, but i would love to see a tall woman wearing a kimono. I love kimonos, yukatas, they just don't love my silhouette😊

@dariaorme1282 Год назад

I noticed you're wearing your hair down in this video. It looks lovely! I have a question: I thought you had to have your hair up for kimono so everyone can see the emon. I can't put my hair in updos because my hair is too heavy and it gives me a massive headache and I will be miserable. Lately I've been doing pigtails instead, but my head is so sensitive that even that hurts. Can I wear my hair down with kimono?

@IAmNotYourProblem Год назад

I’m a 168cm woman, and have been told that many kimono shops would have to have me wear without ohashari

@cassiedierkes7588 Год назад

How did you make the special koshihimo- dumb question, i apologize. I would like to make one for myself as i am on the taller side. Thank you for all your education!❤🙏

@agustincabanias2542 Год назад

SENSEEi, could you please explain how to dress up a kimono/yukata for a man, I always wear it the same way as ladies do. I don´t think that is wrong, but I will gladly see your explanation. Thanks for all I always learn a lot from your videos, regards from Argentina

@liveandletlive2014 9 месяцев назад

Not me being 178cm and struggling to find anything long enough 😂😂😂😂

@KittyHurryUp Год назад

That’s pretty good! People won’t realize it’s too short at all! One question: if I’m going to wear 浴衣, can it be shorter? Maybe between Knies and feet? Oh about all those critics 😅😅Sowas will ich gar nicht zu laut sagen aber glaube mir ich kenne es genau so gut als eine Chinesin, die in DE über 16 Jahre lebt. Obwohl ich mittlerweile schon deutschen Pass habe, kriege ich immer noch doofe fragen 😂

@user-hd3pk4jo1e Год назад

浴衣can be worn shorter especially since it is very casual summer clothes. Without too much not looking strange I suggest maybe two or three centimeters above the ankles.

@KittyHurryUp Год назад

@applepie612 Год назад

Hey, really helpful video :)) I am going to japan next spring and I wanted to ask if it is possible to find regular fitting Kimono for really tall women. I am 176/177cm which is even tall in european countries, so I am afraid nothing will fit me :(( My problem is just about the length because I am really skinny. It would be nice if someone can answer my question :)

@kittycatastrophe2401 Год назад

180 cm here. It’s rare, but I’ve found a few kimono that have a 175cm mitake and they fit me well with a good solid ohashori. They’re much harder to find, but they do exist, so just keep an eye out!

@applepie612 Год назад

Men’s kimono or kimono for maiko but for regular women’s, it will be very hard to near impossible to find.
