Kimonos, haori, and nagusa undergarments made from fabrics with dyed prints are among the kimonos on the market these days.
However, kimono fabrics are sold in the length of one kimono, and depending on the width of the fabric, the length of the sleeves and the width of the sleeves may not be the same as the measurements if the sleeves are long and the sleeves are wide.
Therefore, if you search for cotton print pattern fabric or cotton linen print pattern fabric on Google without limiting to kimono fabric, most of them will be Western-style fabrics, but a wide variety of fabrics including Japanese patterns will be hit on Rakuten.
The good thing about the kimono fabric is that you can buy it by the length you need for the kimono to be sewn. Even if the sleeves are long and wide, you don't have to worry about not being able to make them according to the measurements.
In addition, the length and width of the pattern can be adjusted, so I think that it is possible to cut the pattern more advancedly than the kimono material.
I'm not good at calculating the necessary length for cutting, but I left it to the cutting diagram in Excel. I bought about 500 cm.
I decided on the cutting width considering the seam allowance that I think is best for the width of the sleeve and the width of the body.
I made a women's unlined kimono (nagagi), but I made it 2 cm longer and 8 mm longer sleeves, taking into consideration the shrinkage of the fabric when washing in a washing machine.
Ordinary kimonos have a back seam, and most unlined kimonos have a back seam to reinforce the back seam.
However, there was an opinion that it would be difficult to put on if there was no seam on the back, so I sewed a seam on the center of the back and made a crease when folding.
In addition, there are many fabrics that are not dyed on the back side of the printed pattern of the clothes, so cuff fabric is used for the cuffs where it is easy to see the back side when worn. I set the finished width of the three folds to 11 cm so that the outer material can be seen to that extent.
In addition, the outer side of the front hem is turned up and the back side is easy to see, and the outer side is inlaid on the back side like a hiyoku.
As for the collar, the fabric this time is a little thick, so it's too thick when folded with a wide collar, so I used a bachi collar and left the side seams of the joint collar hanging open without sewing, so that the core of the collar can be inserted from there. did.
There is no inner lift to adjust the length, but since there is a 15 cm hem gap, you can adjust the length by a few centimeters only by folding the hem.
I think that the items necessary for the iron-clad appearance of the basic style of women's kimono are the ohashori and half-collar. I am thinking.
So, I decided to make a kimono that would correspond to the evolution of the yukata-like kimono, even if it was a basic kimono. The fabrics are also made of cotton, linen, cotton linen, etc., which are absolutely not suitable for formal wear, so I would like to create and sell kimonos, haori, and nagusa undergarments with a sense of playfulness, fashion, and comfort.
Kimonos made from Western cloth are sold on the Iwasaーwasai shopping page.
