NOZOMI’S PROBLEMS 　困っていること

Editor’s Note: We have also included photos of Nozomi’s wedding kimono as she is one of the few women we have interviewed who owns one.

I got many kimono from the two grandmothers of my husband. These kimono’s yuki (sleeve plus shoulder width) are so short for me that I am concerned about how to use them. I won’t re-sew them by myself. I will pay the cost to ask professionals to re-sew them one by one. I have to decide which ones are the highest priority.
夫の二人の祖母からたくさんの着物をいただいています。裄が短く、工夫して着てもやはり短いので、これらをどうするか考え中です。自分で縫い直す気はなく、徐々にお金をかけて直して行きたいですが、どの着物から直すか優先順位をつけようと思います。
