How To Put On A Yukata/Kimono
Loading...
Uploaded by AshNight1214 on Mar 18, 2009
Ever wanted to dress up in a kimono or yukata? Here's an easy to understand tutorial on how to put it on right.
Needed materials:
Yukata or kimono
1-3 Himo (ties long enough to go around your body at least once)
Obi or "sash"
Opt. board
To buy a kimono/yukata or any accessories to go with it, visit Kyoei Treasures. They are located on 2370 Crenshaw Bl. "J" Torrance, Ca 90501. If they don't have what you're looking for in the store, they can order just about anything for you straight from Japan for VERY reasonable prices. I've known about them for many years and they probably really need the business.

@AshNight1214 Oh, good! I am wearing it to an Anime convention and only intended it to be used as a costume to begin with. Thank you so much for reassuring me, now I'll be more confident when I wear it, and someday I'll get a real one. Thank you. :)

So is what you put on a Yukata or a Kimono? I'm slightly confused at the difference...

@ShadowedAngel0 I put on a yukata. It's made of cotton whereas a kimono is made of silk or polyester. It was summertime and rather hot, so I used a yukata.

@AshNight1214 How long is your Obi?

@Indi3cita I think it's about 9 feet long. I've not measured, but apparently that's standard for this type of obi.

Hey again, if you have time to answer a second question that would be fantastic. I'm worried that my yukata may be a bathrobe made from a yukata pattern. It's a shiny %100 polyester fabric, but the other girls at Disney wore the same with one of the obi's that I purchased there as well. Help would be appreciated, thank you! :)

@SatsukikSan It could be that it's not a real yukata at all. I've never seen a shiny yukata (though sometimes kimono are made of polyester). I think what you got may just be a costume. Obviously, it's perfectly acceptable when worn for that purpose. :)
