A Must Do!
If you want your own kimono and don’t know where to start or wish it was easier, this is a must do experience. The staff are super helpful and very kind to say the least! Pick your own kimono (nicer ones cost extra) and cut it in half! This makes it easier to put it on on your own later so you don’t have to be a folding expert. They assist you with hemming the edges of your cut kimono with heat activated tape and an iron, so be aware that for heavy use of your new easy wear kimono you may need to reinforce this later with stitching or updating the adhesive.
Great experience making easy to wear kimono
This workshop was a lot of fun. They have many pre loved kimonos to choose from, both women's and men's. The kimono is included in the workshop fee but if you prefer a more fancy one, you have to pay a little extra. For the women, you cut the kimono in half to make a skirt and jacket. The men print their name on the front. They have all the accessories available (obi etc) to use for photos or to purchase.
Finding our way to the location was a little challenging with the given instructions. I should have just put the address into Google maps.
