Restructuring a kimono

I have started to expand one of my narrow kimonos, ie. I have separated lined the outer layer so that I can include material on the sides and the panels (ukumi) in front.

Got some great images of the neck drop, and to my surprise there were a bit of cotton/ wool in the corners, it gives nice little strong corners, so I will put it back, afterwards.

 

All seams along the kimono frontlay was basted to in the vastefabric to the vastefabrib on the lining, I have a little difficult to figure out how that is possible to do, because it looks like, all seams, except the collar, is sewn from the inside - interesting
