About this Event
About this lecture:
This introductory class is recommended for anyone enrolling in upcoming kimono dressing classes and anyone who would like to know how to identify what type of Kimono is appropriate for which season.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own Kimono items they are unsure about and we will look at key characteristics that help to identify what they have and what they may need before beginning their Kimono dressing classes in the Spring.
