I know this is a long shot but does anybody know of/or could recommend a kitsuke service in SIN? This is service where someone helps one put on a kimono (kimono wearing being difficult and requires special training etc.)

Like I said, a long shot, but appreciate any pointers. I'm sure a kitsuke service must be available in SIN with its large Japanese expatriate population but I don't know where to start looking.

Nihongo dekiru? If yes, try asking on http://www.singaweb.net/, which is where Singapore's J-expats hang out.

I glanced through the site (great site!) but no mention of such a service but I will post on their forum - thanks!
