/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm about to do a kimono cosplay and since it's labor intense, I'm also tempted to take part in a cosplay contest. Because, you know, why not.

But, like, how do you pose in a kimono? Let alone maybe dance? I imagine all usual posing advice like hand on hip etc would fail because of the ohgod huge furisode sleeves. Minimum length for the skit is about 30 seconds, from what I've seen real kimono wearers do there's pretty much only bow, kneel and bow and hold hands together in a cute fashion. Can't do only that for half a minute.
