In the alteration guide, enter the measurements of your kimono,

and enter the gender and size after tailoring,

and the differences are calculated automatically.

Places that should be altered and places that may be altered are
diagnosed automatically.

When I choose what I want to alter, the necessary patches and areas that
can be removed

are calculated automatically, and according to that area

videos on how to undo, how to make patches, and how to resew

are displayed.
