I have to admit that when I was getting dressed for the DVD event this past weekend before last, it took around 20 minutes or more to get dressed. It was putting the belt together that took all the extra time; everything else was easy. The two belts are separate on mine and so I have to put the pouches on (in the right order) and then thread the narrower belt through them. And then after doing that I found out that the notch I'd put on the inside of the belt to keep the covertec clip in place was on the wrong side and so I had to take it apart again and start over. I've put it away now, but I left it put together so it won't take so long next time. But there always seems to be something that takes extra time when getting dressed in a costume.
About the obi width....I tend to make my obi a little wider than what's on the costumes in the movies (using the belt width as a measure) because they don't look like they're lying exactly flat. There's always a little bunching that reduces the obi width and narrows it, especially if I've wrapped it tight enough so it won't move while I'm moving around.
