How to tie a Darari Obi

Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to tie the Darari Obi. I'm sending this to you because I left the kimono mock up with Julianne to rehearse in. I don't know if she'll actually need to tie the obi for rehearsal, but I wanted to make sure you had the option. Here are some other videos to help with putting the kimono on.

 

Here is the link to the original photo of the tutorial if you're finding this hard to read. You'll need to click "download image" on the right hand side. It should be just bellow the button that says "add to favorites." yuna19.deviantart.com/art/Darari-Obi-tutorial-32519522

 

This one shows how to put the kimono on. The main thing here is it shows how to adjust the length of the kimono so that it doesn't drag on the ground. For the wedding kimono we'll use the full length with the train, but for the less formal kimono we'll want to shorten it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXb3EiM0Bhs&feature=youtube_g...

 

This shows how to tie the Obi Age (the padded piece that helps shape the obi in the back):
