Description
Many people ask me a lot of basic kimono questions, like which way you fold it over, and where does the sash go - that sort of stuff...So, I made up a little tutorial with the basic principles of women's kimono.
Hope it's useful

This is very helpful (also, I now finally know where to put the sash on my own kimono XD.)
Question: What are the differences between a women's kimono and a men's kimono?

Thanks!
Well, that's a big question.
I suggest you find some images and just look it up generaly on the net, because it'll take a long time to explain, and it's better to just see them and visually find the differences.

ah! I bought a kimono from the Japanese pavilion at Disney World.. I never thought to ask what kind it was (I see now, it's a semi formal)
(can you give any information about under kimonos and the like? or is that already posted in your gallery and I didn't get to look yet...)

Can you make one on how to put on the Obi?

May I correct a few things?
The left panel of a kimono is folded over the right side, right-over-left is used only for the dead. Ick.
Also, a furisode is for an unmarried woman, married women don't wear them. The most formal kimono for a married woman is the Homongi.
And in case anyone asks you: Furisode patterns usually go all over the kimono, but Homongi patterns are all below the obi (save perhaps crests on the shoulders and backs, but I've never seen a proper example of one to know for certain.)

My fruined is writing a fanfic of Kabuki and we collect usueful informations from onnagatas. Since in early they were expected to live as women I guess this weaing info will come handy for us..

No, I'm quite sure it's Edo. The Heian Period was less complicated in dress.

very useful, but u really should do the texts using fonts, cause I can't understand some things...
except that, very cute tutorial ^^

Hehe - very true.
I thought of redoing it, but I can't be bothered - not surprising
I'll probably take that advice next time I do a tutorial.
