Nidoran maybe you can pass it from Go to Home and then to Scarlet ;p But Evee rules.
🌸🌿 Lovely informative tutorial ! Thank you, Billy !
Cool 😀
Cool 😀
You could try tea staining or coffee. I'd sample each first.
How do you know what color to choose for obi and the obi ropes? I feel like when I show them my Yukata and kimono of purple and pinks they end up recommending very bright fushia pink and purple.
Thanks for the amazing videos! I'm a koto and shamisen performer and spend more time trying to put on my kimono than practicing lol. Could you possibly do a video about how to drive comfortably with one on?
Cool 😀
Cool 😀
Very pretty 😀
ok....I am confused.....I saw you sew the kimono and it was not lined.......but in the last part where you are wearing the kimono, the sleeves are white inside......lol....i did not see you line them!.........help
omg i got so lost......
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! they entertain and soothe and teach all at once! (just a quick tip, put your spool of sewing machine thread in a cup to stop it from running away :)
How do I subscribe?
thank you! i'm currently making a Kimono based costume. so i'm rewatching your videos. to help me with the kimono structures. 😊
How do you pee with all those layers AND the pants? 😅😅😅
Hola una pregunta cómo hacer la parte del cuello blanco del kimono
Very pretty 😀
Would love to know what differentiates formal kimono from each other? Are there different kimono for different special occasions?
Hello, im half way through making the kimono, but i am completely stuck at the part where you fold in the side seam and sew it down, i am confused whether or not if i should sew it into the kimono itself, or if i should only sew it onto itself? i see your side seam doesnt move when you manipulate the fabric, but im not sure i want to commit to 6 meters of seams unless i know for sure?
おこそずきん、懐かしいー! 身分のある女性が素性を隠すために巻いていたと記憶しております。 時代劇でもよく目にしておりましたが、今は時代劇すら放送されないのでこうして動画にして頂いて感謝です!
I highly recommend reading xxxHolic! It is still my favourite manga after all these years and Yuuko's and Kimihiro's styles along the series are honestly goals <3 Your wedding pictures were so beautiful, thank you for sharing them with us! Sesshoumaru is one of the original dreamboats and for a reason :D
i hope Billy sensei also makes video like this for movie kimonos
Billy-sensei can you please make a reaction video or something video about the costumes in Shogun (2024) Series. would be awesome.
My opinion on the style change is it almost seems like your guises color schemes the opposite of them bring out your guises skin tones in a nicer way, but you guys both definitely look more comfortable in your original styles. You guys both look very beautiful.
Thank you so much for this video ! I work at a pretty classy restaurant and waitresses like me have to wear a kimono. I’ve been taught one for 1 and a half hour and then « take your kimono home and train by yourself. You can find tutorials on UA-cam ! » I tried many times and somehow achieved to wear it but it just wasn’t looking as good as it should and I took me more than 30 mins (I was still proud of myself knowing I’m a perfect beginner haha) so these tips will thankfully help me (with the ohashori being my biggest issue) !
Thank you for sharing these tips! I'm a fair sized waist, but massive top - my top circumference is larger than my waist and hips. Do you have suggestions for exceptionally large breasts?
I just love this polkadot nagajuban so much :D
I know that hakama are typically not worn with yukata, but would it be inappropriate to wear it with yukata casually?
❤
Interesting history. I am slowly gathering patterns to make the various garments and accessories for proper kimono dress.
woman have it hard.. respect!!!!
I use clothes pins for everything! They are wonderful.And not expensive. Thank you Billy for all the information you share. I miss your videos. Hope you come back to UA-cam and all is well with you.
Thank you for this useful video! I'm glad to see such a brief but clear instructions.
Something that I found that was an absolute game changer with my Ohashori was to properly bind my chest and fill in the hollow between my shoulder blades and my hips slightly more with padding. This kept my Ohashori flatter, and it helped me to be able to actually level it off properly without the collar and my skirt being completely off grain and so it bubbles weirdly. TLDR: proper👏🏻 foundational 👏🏻layering 👏🏻is 👏🏻important.👏🏻
I used your texhnic to make one out of wool. You are right about the collar .. it is finicky work. My local Joannes loved it. I wore it during a heavy snowfall and it was warmer than a down coat. Love your teachng.
Where is this thrift store? Is it Shimamura?
i wore right over left the other day and didnt realize it until after I was looking back at photos.. i was so embarrassed 😭
The problem is sewing silk! I sew it by hand. ❤❤❤
Tip for dying. Buy chinesse ink, yes i know.. get alcohol 96-98% and in a designated dish or so add just 1/2 drop of ink or less. If too dark add more alcohol and viceversa. 👍👍👍
Ah remember than the fabric is dried Will have a different colour so I try on small pieces 1st and blowdry so I can see the "Real" colour
You could make an small purse w "the scraps" It could be very simple, even hidden-atached to the kimono or a more formal with bamboo handles...
Well done! I'm a milliner and flower make and LOVE silk... Id Lost my mind & pocket if I were there. But 1st I had to choose which would be extremely difficult cause last time I want to Japan I came with a mountain of fabrics.
Just buy a pattern by Simplicity or McCall’s. I sew Sashiko bindings on fronts, neck and sleeve cuffs. Dont stress over the main kimono parts.
I just want to tell you that I’ve sewn a kimono under the guidance of this video and it’s turned out to be gorgeous. Thank you very much for sizing and other references ❤
Love your channel.
Billy I truly enjoy your videos. I wish you were making more soon. Maybe you are busy with more translations or your Patreon has expanded. Come back to UA-cam?
Nice, that is so pretty. It can be relaxing once you get started. All of these are so intricate and beautiful. I truly love the pattern of your UA-cam kimono. It is also a flattering color on you as well.
I got one on Christmas last year. I want to buy more! 👘
Ich habe eine Frage zu Mompe. Kann man diese im Sommer über einen Yukata als Modeaccessoires tragen, oder ist eine Mompe eine reine Arbeitshose für Kimono? Das konnte ich leider nicht herausfinden. Denn dieses Schachbrett Mister reizt mich so, es nach zu nähen. 😅🤗
Love your creations ❤ thank u so much for sharing
