This is insanely useful. I've looked at others, but they haven't clicked like this one did. Maybe my obi will look a lot better from now on
Thanks for the upload!

Very useful. Thank you. I have a question. If we do not have obi ita, what can we use to replace it? Also what if we made our own obi but the fabric is not made of cotton and cannot stay wrinkle-free?

Then I made one, I took some cardboard and kind of fashioned one out of it. You just do the best with what you've got ^__^

Wow. That was a lot of work. I wouldn't even know how to put that on. But you managed to draw it. Amazing.
Love this.

Mhmm. This is need-to-know information. I thought it was just wrap around twice and tie. Would've gotten my ass whipped by the locals of Japan. Nice! ... noticed the "te" in step three ... but otherwise perfection at it's best!

Ah thanks~ Yeah, it's kind of neat finding out how it's actually tied together... kind of specific rules, eh? But they have specific rules for just putting the kimono on... ^^ It's neat~
