  • @SkankingJesus no they don't. I've tried on a kimono before (and had my Japanese professors help me. The kimono didn't belong to me, btw. It was brought in by one of the Japanese professors for a Chinese/Japanese Open House event where people come in and see what the Chinese and Japanese language students have done), and I was able to breathe in them. There's a specific way of walking in kimono.

  • @SkankingJesus Kimono, when put on properly, do NOT hurt! I dress up in kimono regularly, and it's like a nice hug all day. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with one. :(

  • I've tried on a formal one before and if I'm honest, found it really comfy. Just couldn't get used to the sleeves!

  • @SkankingJesus I can understand why you would think that, and perhaps, if you've worn one, it has hurt you. But I cannot share that experience and have worn kimono and yukata both. ^_^Y

  • The cause is that yukata is un-polite fashion;; it is very casual clothing,,, it isn't because you are non-Japanese.. It's ok to wear yukata in your home and neighborhood and festivals

    you should wear more expensive polite kimono....if you wanna wear it in every day -life...

    And I'd like to see you-in-yukata picture(*´ω`*)

  • yes they are tight. there are lots of belts under the main obi! There's the sash to hold the juban, then there's the magic belt for the obi to hold its shape, plus another thing like a plate to stabilize it. Then the obi is wrapped twice around, plus the obijime which by the time it goes on your waist has lost sensation.
