Practicing musubi for furisode

I have got this amazing Fukuro obi, by a very friendly woman, who bought for me and and brought it home from Japan, with her. The base is black with small white sparks, that makes it looks like dark grey.

But before I try it, I had to take a picture of my last musubi trials, the obi was a little too short for the musubi I had chosen, so I cheated with the lower double folding in the right.

I am also quite crazy with this Fukuro, but it is rather vulnerable in the part of the embroidery, as the threads very easily gets torn up.The colors is more intense than in the picture.

Shows the color a bit better

Noticed that I never postet this one, it was from a school workshop/parent day.

And this from another event...

Change sex

I have got these gent torsos very cheap (no. 0), and I thought that I could then use for the lady kimono too, but were they too broad at the shoulders. The torsos are made from flamingo, so it easy to cut.

No. 1
Here I have taken som of the shoulders, but as you can see when dressed, it is still a bit broad.

No. 2
Cut a little more, here it is more propotionel.
In both pix I padded the hips.

Trying a new musubi, I came out a bit to much in the top part.
