A full kimono with wide sleeves, a broad sash tied at the waist and flowers printed across the cloth. The sash is a large flat band that separates the two patterned halves.
How to color Hello Kitty in a kimono
- indigo blue Colour the robe first, working around the printed flowers.
- deep red Fill the sash in a strongly contrasting colour, flat and even.
- cream and gold Go back and colour the flowers in two shades so the pattern lifts.
A kimono works on contrast between the robe and the sash. Pick two colours that are genuinely different, not two shades of one.
Things to know about Hello Kitty in a kimono
- The obi, the wide sash, can be over four metres long, and the way it is tied says more about the occasion than the robe does.
- Kimono sleeves are longer on garments for unmarried women, which is one of the few details that is genuinely codified.
What colors are traditional for a kimono?
Indigo, deep red and cream are the safest trio. The important thing is that the sash contrasts with the robe rather than blending into it.
