How to Put on Kimono Underclothing

[macattack352]

Hi, I was just wondering what a "Dickey" is? You see I'm making a kimono and part of the instructions, say to make a this "thing" that goes under the kimono (at least what what I understand from the instructions). I'm also wondering it that just the under top part @ 4:18.

Sorry for the long post just trying to figure this out.

[AshNight1214]

@macattack352 I think they're referring to the collar piece called the "eri" which I talked about but didn't have for the video. I looked up "dickey" and it looked like collars, so that's as close as I can think. Sorry I'm not much help. If the piece they want you to make looks like a "T", then that's probably what it is.

[AshNight1214]

@jinnyboy8 It's absolutely optional. It may not fit as well, but no one will throw tomatoes at you for not wearing a towel. And sometimes the underthings are necessary for a light colored yukata in which case it may be too hot to wear a towel. I decided to forgo the towel when I nearly passed out from the heat.

what's the difference between a kimono slip and a nagajuban?

[AshNight1214]

@MomoHinamori12 There is no difference. :)

[rainpelt4eva]

By "pants" do you mean trousers (american) or underwear (knickers and the like)

[AshNight1214]

@rainpelt4eva Oh, haha I mean trousers (like I was wearing). I did that mostly for modesty's sake. :) Please, do wear knickers. XD

[sakura851]

hi i have herd of a yukata slip what does it look like and do you have to wear one for a yukata.

[AshNight1214]

@sakura851 A yukata slip is basically just a shift (kind of like a victorian chemise) that keeps you from sweating on your yukata. It's not necessary. I usually wear leggings and a tank under mine. :)

[Sakura88Kyuuketsuki]

I've been wanting to ask for a while now but are you japanese???? you know so much!!!!!

[AshNight1214]

@Sakura88Kyuuketsuki I'm half Japanese. The reason I know so much is because I took Japanese dance (The kabuki style) for about 10 years. My sister took for about 15 years (she still takes on and off). :)

[Sakura88Kyuuketsuki]

@AshNight1214 WOWWW!! i head on chinese but for some reason, i look japanese when i wear my yukata and kimono. like pure jap. weird rite

[lukkha1]

i dont want to be rude but the towel is used when the waist is thiner than the the rest of the torse but you dont need one it will actually look better without the towel .

and concerning women with large breasts , you have to resew the collar of the kimono. in japan women with large breasts have the collar sewn in a special way it is not sewn straight but curved which gives a nice shape to the collar hard to explain here but very easy to do yourself it is called "Hatomune eri shitate"

[AshNight1214]

@lukkha1 I use the towel not because I'm particularly thin about the waist. I use it because I'm big around the bum. If I don't use it, the kimono will bunch and looks like crap. Thanks for the tip about the collar.

[MayuSenpai]

doyou have to wear under garmens or is a tshirt and shorts/jeans ok??

[AshNight1214]

@MayuSenpai You only have to wear the proper unders if you're wearing a kimono. I suggest a tank top and leggings under a yukata (especially if it's a hot day!).

[randompersoncookie]

"they sorta look like bloomers"

LOL :D

[Chikoritababy15]

do kimonos and yukatas look bad on girls with larger chests?? >.<

[AshNight1214]

@Chikoritababy15 They can be a little harder to make look right unless you bind some.  For me, (I'm about a 34C), I wear the sports bra you see in the video. It's fairly solvable unless you're really busty. In which case, an ACE bandage is in good order.

[Chikoritababy15]

@AshNight1214 thanks sooo much! ^-^, I've been so curious about this because I want to wear one some day :P  anyway thanks ^-^ and your singing is amazing!

[NashaShuang]

@Chikoritababy15 Traditionally, women that wear yukata is supposed to be curveless on upper body....

But, it's actually fine, they don't LOOK BAD, it will just be harder to let the collar stay stable

=)

[myradark]

excuse me is there a type of short kimono it reaches about just below the umm mid thigh my cousin was wearing one i didnt know if it was a cosplay one or not

[AshNight1214]

@myradark The short kimono is only cosplay to my knowledge.  They're cute, but not traditional. :)

[chamekke]

@myradark There is a short kimono known as a hakamashita. It's worn with hakama - a kind of long skirt. Men wear hakama for more formal occasions and also when practising traditional arts. Nowadays women rarely wear hakama - you mostly see it on young women at graduation. The hakamashita is *always* worn with hakama, though... so if you see someone wearing one by itself (i.e. with their legs showing!), it must be cosplay.

[AshNight1214]

@chamekke Thanks for mentioning that! I completely forgot about that. lol

[TwoPlusFourIsMe]

You're so pretty!!!

[oshawboi808]

That was VERY informative! I live in Hawaii...(island of Kauai to be exact) and we have our Bon dance celebrations every year and in fact I just came back from one today! But anyway I always wondered what thy wore underneath...thanks sooo much for sharing! :)

[AuStRaILiASiDnii]

what do the all undergarments consist of including the han eri

[AshNight1214]

@janetbear4556 hahaha it can be, yes.

[MiZBooDee07]

Is it horrible to wear a different color naga-juban? Other than white?

[AshNight1214]

@MiZBooDee07 It's not HORRIBLE, but not necessarily correct. Red can be worn in certain cases, but white is safest.

[AshNight1214]

@MiZBooDee07 I also forgot to mention that, if you're wearing a yukata that isn't white, you can just wear whatever underneath.

[bakugansolar1]

but do you know any one that might

[AshNight1214]

Unfortunately, no. You might want to look around YouTube for other fans.

[bakugansolar1]

thanks any way

[bakugansolar1]

do you know how to put on a bleach cosplay kimono

[AshNight1214]

If it looks the same as a regular kimono, it should go on the same way. If not, I can't really help you. I'm not sure how the cosplay ones are made. Sorry!

[theladysesshomaru]

what is the name of the pleated skirt that mikos wear? I wants one!!!!

[AshNight1214]

I don't know, actually. You might want to ask my sister, YumiYoukai. She might know.

[SlugPerson]

great video! but where can you buy jiban and kedashi? i'm stumped!

[xXmoonlightfoxXx]

can I move in with youuuu lol

[M4DM4DSI]

u r sooo hoooot damn<33333333333333

[RainingRivvil]

I has a Question! ^^ Do you absolutly, positivly, have to have the traditional undergarments under a Yukata? I'm only 4'11 and I'm planning on wearing a Yukata for my birthday this month, and I know it will be hot (Out door party) I was wondering if a can wear the feminine boxer shorts and a work out bra. Will they be alright? I really don't want to wear too much and end up fainting at my brithday @.@

[AshNight1214]

Honestly, I wouldn't. I usually wear a jog bra and shorts under my yukata! Don't worry about unders for that unless you're wearing a white yukata. Happy birthday!

[RainingRivvil]

thank you T^T

[thecrazyalchemist]

can you get these in large sizes

[AshNight1214]

They generally come in S, M, and L, but if you need it larger than what is sold, I suggest getting the largest size you can and altering it/ use it as a pattern and sew your own. The kedashi is pretty easy to sew up, but the jiban is a little more difficult. If you have problems, I suggest finding someone who can sew. Sorry there isn't much more I can help you with.

[foxyvixen19]
