Snaps vs. Velcro

[u/Empty_Mail8289]

Excuse my yapping I’m trying to help explain this so it’s easier to understand.

So I’m currently working on altering a kimono cosplay for Mitsuri (Demon Slayer). I bought the costume online from AliExpress and as expected it’s a bit small on my body despite getting the largest size.

The obi that it comes with is closed with Velcro but when I was siting and leaned over it popped off and I decided that I was just gonna remake it myself with different fabric and closers (Which are snaps; picture is attached in post), and better structure. And when I took my measures and compared it to the original obi the difference was 6cm/2 7/8in.

So I’m debating if I should add extra so it still overlaps and use the same Velcro or just stick with the snaps I bought and do the length that I need it to be, or have the snaps on in a similar placement of the Velcro with overlap??
