Can someone correct my English? Hi, I am Hiroko, a Japanese mother learning English. I wrote an English instructions on how to wear kimono for a kimono dresser friend. Can someone correct my English? Please let me know if you found anything awkward↓ “How to wear kimono” First I will put on “tabi”. Tabi are separate big toe socks to wear with “zori”. You see metal tabs and cotton hooks on a tabi sock. After putting my foot into tabi, I need to place the tabs into the correct cotton hooks. Then I will put on “nagajyuban”. “Nagajyuban” is a kimono underwear. Make sure to fold your left side over right side. Don’t do it the other way! Right side over left side is how to wrap a corpse. Now I will put on kimono. Slip the sleeves of the “nagajyuban“ into the sleeves of kimono. The hems should be just above the feet. Tie in place just above the hips with a “koshihimo”. Pat down the top half and create a neat single layer of material over the koshihimo. Tie in place just below the bust with another “koshihimo”. Now I need a “datejime”. “Datejime” is a wide sash under “Obi”. I will wrap datejime over koshihimo. Now I will wrap “Obi” over the “datejime”. “Obi” is a large outer belt. I need to leave some length to make a bow later and wrap Obi about two times around my waist. Tie together tightly and make a bow at front. Then I will slide the bow to back. Tie “obi” with “obijime”. It’s done.

In English, instructions are usually written addressed to the second person ("you") and not in the first-person as you originally wrote.)

Hi, I am Hiroko, a Japanese mother learning English. I've written English instructions on how to wear kimono for a kimono dresser friend (do you mean "a friend who wants to learn how to wear a kimono")?. Can someone correct my English? Please let me know if you find anything awkward↓

“How to wear kimono”

First, put on “tabi”. Tabi are big toe socks worn with “zori”. There are metal tabs and cotton hooks on a tabi sock. After putting your foot into a tabi, place the tabs into the correct cotton hooks.

Then, put on “nagajyuban”. “Nagajyuban” is kimono underwear. Make sure to fold the left side

over the right side. Don’t do it the other way! Right side over left is how to wrap a corpse.

Now put on the kimono. Slip the sleeves of the “nagajyuban“ into the sleeves of the kimono. The hems should be just above the feet. Tie the kimono in place just above the hips with a “koshihimo”. Pat down the top half and create a neat single layer of material over the koshihimo. Tie the kimono in place just below the bust with another “koshihimo”. Now you need a “datejime”. “Datejime” is a wide sash under the “Obi”. I will wrap the

datejime over the koshihimo.

Now I will wrap the “Obi” over the “datejime” (an “Obi” is a large outer belt). You need to leave enough length to make a bow with and wrap the Obi about two times around your waist. Tie the Obi together tightly and make a bow in front. Then slide the bow to your back. Tie the “obi” with an “obijime”. You're done.
