havent been blogging for awhile cause the passed week was so busy..... not exactly busy with work but more of busy with online shopping... as i mentioned before in my earlier post that i am a fan of taobao, you really can find almost anything under the sun on the website... furthermore, the cheap prices make it even more attractive to shop on taobao... so that's why i actually stop shopping in SG for at least 2yrs other than getting the necessities...
due to the vast amount of items selling on taobao, i practically spent weeks looking through all the items to get the best deals... for my upcoming project, i am going to sew 3 kimonos... 1 for cosplay, yes... i do cosplay but not the pro kind.... the other 2 will be for my bf & I to be used for our wedding shoot.... i know that some of the bridal shop do kimono rental for photoshoot but i would think the selection will be limited... so may as well get 1 that i like.... i did consider getting the ready made kimono online but a nice & good quality kimono will cost SGD1k or evenmore.... of cause i wont spend the $ just for a shoot... so... DIY will come in.... so after spending the passed few weeks looking at the different cloth on taobao... i finally decided my kimono cloth....

| tada... my kimono cloth... i gotten the red 1 |
it is definitely not the ideal material/design for kimono but this is 1 of the best that i can find.... this cloth cost about 12SGD/m.... i think is cheaper than what you can find it SG but it will take time to ship to SG....

| this is what i intend to sew for my bf |
personally i had sewn 3 kimono before... is really simple to do it cause is just straight lines... so much simpler than sewing a dress or what.... but you will need quite a large piece of cloth... for kimono, you will need a min 4.5m cloth (110cm width)....but i havent sew a hakama (japanese pants) before, from picture it actually looked not too hard..... so after i gotten my cloth, i will post up some pic & tutorial of how to sew the kimono.... hopefully the final product will be nice =)
