- Kimono fabric is quite narrow compared to normal fabric which is sold by the metre; this is because it’s made purely for kimono construction. Unlike western clothes which require lots of pattern pieces and styles, kimonos are constructed much more simply and only the collar requires cutting out all other pieces are just cut to length and sewn together. Please check you are happy with the width before you purchase.
- If you are making your own kimono please note you would need a complete bolt for a traditional kimono or haori jacket. Unlike the west you buy from a bolt but in Japan you buy a whole bolt which can be around 900 cm for haori, 1200 cm for kimono or 2000 cm for matching kimono and haori.
- Please do not wash or steam iron as this may leave water marks on the fabric and shrink it, please consult professional dry cleaners for advice if required or do a sample test.
