Now the obi. A series of sketches will be offered soon, hopefully. Place the narrow end of the obi over your right shoulder from behind, so that the end is just below breast level. The side where the two layers have been sewn together should face right. With the left hand, reach behind you and pull the other end to the front, placing it horizontally over the narrow end, thus fixig it. Now you have the right hand free to pull the long end further round, around the back and to the left. Take the long end into your left hand, carefully pull out the short end with the right, and pull tight on both ends. See to it that the surplus of kimono length that you had smoothed down shows as a neat horizontal fold below the obi or, if there wasn't that much surplus, doesn't show at all.
