I need a nice pair of zori, but have no idea where to look for any. I've tried online sites, but can't, for the life of me, find anything other than tatami zori (which is what I DON'T want). I want something a little more formal. I wear a US women's 8.5 without socks, and a size 9 with socks. If anyone knows a site where I can find nice zori in the size I'd need, or knows what size I need, it would be helpful.
Also, I'm trying to recreate this outfit: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/waffles_r_us/ritsucover.jpg But I can't tell what kind of obi knot/tie that is. At first I was assuming it was a drum knot, but then... I realized it doesn't exactly look like one, so I thought it might be a bow, but the bottom looks a bit too... square? I have no idea what's going on with that obi. :?
Also, can anyone tell what kind of kimono that is/might be and what kind of material I should (try to) make it out of? I haven't had any luck in finding a kimono even remotely lke that (or an obi like in the picture), so I'm just going to make my own (same with the obi).
Thanks!
