This model has been accompanying the life of almost every resident of the country for a long time. According to history, kimono used to include a certain set consisting of underwear, socks, shoes. For each important ceremony - tea, wedding, a certain set was suitable.

Taking measurements

A kimono is a wide, one-size-fits-all garment that is tied with a belt. It is considered both formal and casual clothing. The coloring determines the formality of the garment. Long sleeves are typical for a young girl, indicating the absence of a husband. The image is also influenced by the number of accessories, fabric, and the presence of a family crest. Silk is for special occasions, cotton and polyester are for everyday wear.

To create the correct pattern, the seamstress needs to correctly take measurements from the model. It is important to take into account the DI — the length of the product. It is adjusted by creating a fold under the belt.

Standard sleeve sizes: length 54 cm, width 75 cm.

Necessary measurements:

• DI — product length;
• DL — back length;
• DR — sleeve length;
• DPT - front length to waist;
• SS - half neck girth;

• SB - half hip circumference.

Features of additional measurements:

• DR — sleeve length from the extreme point of the neck;
• DS + 2 cm - waist level;
• 1/3*SG + 10 cm - will show the armhole level.
