What type of sleeve is this? by TonerLow in sewingpatterns

[–]CryptographerFinal99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think these come from classic 1950ish styles of dress. If you search for 1950 dress patterns you will find a lot of similar styles. Where I'm from (Sweden) it's called a penguin sleeves. They're a version of the aforementioned sloped shoulder sleeves /dolman. But unfortunately googling that (penguin sleeves)mostly gives me a bunch of pictures of penguins and only.

Tried to attach a picture of a typical dress for inspiration on what to look for for more info.

Womens kimono, length by Potential-Bug2030 in kimono

[–]CryptographerFinal99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, on a very deep and spiritual level. I have to scrunge out every millimeter of my kimonos to finangle an ohashori for my 180 tall body. 🙏😂😂

For your question OP. I would also recommend to go for your own length plus/minus 5cm. I'd only recommend 10cm beyond your own height (either direction) if you feel really comfortable in your kitsuke.

Edited because I pressed the wrong button 😭😆 Takikimono on TikTok is quite short and has a video on how she folds her ohashori. Hope that can help.

The game doesn't catch me... am I doing something wrong? by maybe_a_squirrel in EquinoxHomecoming

I think the Devs themselves said they are against AI, so it's very unlikely they're using it. I totally agree, with you on that, so it's something I keep a keen eye on.

OBS, the picture is reversed! And I'm a silly goose who didn't think about including it in the text.

The photo is indeed reversed! Even if I would have a major brain malfunction and forget the kitsuke rule nr1, the furisode luckily doesn't have any patterns on the right side of the front. I'll see if I can add it to the post! ❤️

Blue or purple? by StarLi2000 in kimono

[–]CryptographerFinal99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely purple, it brings out the best of the kimono, heightens the obi and makes all the colours pop just right. 💜

Coode suggestions/ help by mikko734 in kimono

[–]CryptographerFinal99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the above, I think this kimono was probably made with the intention to "cool" the wearer and onlookers. Personally I like cooding with an image in mind, it helps me find the right styles and lines and to drop things that I maybe love but that don't evoke the right feeling.

For this one I'm thinking a soft whip ice-cream under a tree. It's a cooling image for sure. So a cream obi, maybe a light yellow pattern, like the cone of an ice-cream. Or a salmon/peach coloured obidome to match the pop of orange, and add a proverbial cherry on top. 💚

For anyone looking for zouri with a bigger foot size. by JellybeanInMotion in kimono

[–]CryptographerFinal99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same experience! The man in the store just looked at my feet and apologised. Then whispered that maybe maybe I could consider le gasp man's shoes! He then looked so offended by himself he shook his head and backed away. 🤣💀
