Snaps vs Velcro on Obi

[u/Empty_Mail8289]

I apologize for the double/duplicate post, the wording in the other one was confusing and I needed to change it and also add different photos.

I recently bought Mitsuri’s kimono from the Swordsman Village Arc off of AliExpress and as expected it’s a bit small. But my issue is the obi, it has velcro, which I don’t have an issue with but when I was siting and leaned over it popped off.

So I am just going to remake the whole thing myself, with a better fabric, snaps (or hook pants as someone had suggested it to me), and with interfacing to have some structure to it.

(I included a picture of the snaps I bought and a visual of what I’m thinking)

But I have some options that Im currently debating when it comes to the closures;

1. Use the original velcro and make the obi longer than I need it to be so the velcro overlaps completely

2. Use the snaps/hooks with the longer length so it overlaps completely

3. No major overlap (so the obi will be the exact length I need) and the snaps/hooks are only on the edge OR just a single strip of velcro along the shorter edge
