I"m making it to wear to my daughter's wedding. It will be a fairly casual affair, and the weather should be quite warm<br />so this looks ideal. I'll let you know how it works out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860303084188743383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119804087159910996.post-82275663294287219872016-09-11T16:52:07.188-04:002016-09-11T16:52:07.188-04:00You can always e-mail @ michelle@thatblackchic.com...You can always e-mail @ michelle@thatblackchic.com me or use the contact form on my blog page to ask me any questions. Honey this was tricky and I had to pin it while I had it laid out like the picture in the directions. I can't explain it to you in words any other way than that.

I'm working on the kimono right now, and just like you, have issues too. Put it together wrong, and I had to walk away from it, because I felt like murdering it. Since I left and now have come back, my husband is taking the band apart, and we are trying to figure it out together. I've looked everywhere for a tutorial on this i.e. youtube etc., but nothing came up. A tutorial would be of great help, especially for the band around the outside. Yours looks great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119804087159910996.post-70811336502769220482016-09-06T02:00:01.970-04:002016-09-06T02:00:01.970-04:00Thank you!
