Things You'll Need:
- Juban (two piece slip)
- Eri-sugata (collar)
- Tabi socks
- Obi sash or koshi-himo and date-jime belts
-
Step 1
Put on the tabi socks. These are part of a traditional kimono outfit and once you have the kimono on, it will be difficult to bend over to put the socks on.
-
Step 2
Choose to wear either the juban or eri-sugata. Many people today wear only the eri-sugata or a collar around the neck. The juban is the traditional undergarment.
-
Step 3
Center the back seam of the kimono behind you and put it on.
-
Step 4
Take the right side of the kimono and wrap it across your body, overlapping it with the left side.
-
Step 5
Adjust the collar, if you put on an eri-sugata, so that it just shows under the neck of the kimono.
-
Step 1
Pull the kimono up, so that it rests just at your ankles. As you hold the extra material right above your waist, tie the first obi belt, called the koshi-himo, under the extra material. Wrap the belt around your back and tie it in the front.
-
Step 2
Straighten out any extra material so that the kimono is smooth.
-
Step 3
Fix the extra material so that it covers the koshi-himo belt.
-
Step 4
Wrap the second obi belt or the date-jime belt around your waist, covering the koshi-himo belt.
-
Step 5
Tie the date-jime belt in front, just above the bottom of the overlapping fabric.
