ISOTK Round 2 7th Stop: Amelia, Surabaya

This time, the traveling kimono was visiting Amelia. Amelia is one of ISOTK's participants who is new to kimono and kitsuke world and terms. I believe this is the first time she jumped on the wagon full of new kimono things. She wore the kimono beautifully, albeit the hiro eri was still unfolded and the maemigoro was crossed "right over left".

After receiving the pictures of her full set kitsuke, we (the managers of ISOTK's page) discussed that with Amelia and her response was somewhat really enlightening. She accepted the facts that she was done the kitsuke in wrong ways and asked us to just keep the pictures just the way they were. She didn't want us to flip the picture so the collar crossing is "left over right". She said that we should keep the pictures and put some information on how the mistakes were and it could be some point of note on how not to make the some mistakes. Anyhoo, mistakes or not, she dressed beautifully - outside and inside. For more pictures and sneakpeak on what ISOTK (Indonesian Sisterhood of Traveling Kimono) is, you can visit the page.
