yeah she did! it was sooooo fun. I had a blast. ppl kept asking me where I got it and if I had to pay alot though so I had to keep telling them that it wasn't too expesive (considering they had paid $4-500 for their dresses alone...maybe $1000 for the entire otfit. mine was like $50). I barrowed the hairpiece I was wearing and my makeup was done by a friend of our pastor's wife. So all in all, I saved alot of money on my outfit.

Wow...That sounds tempting for all us poor people out there. LOL. I'll probably wind up making my furisode black with white underneath.

Kimonos!!
 
Do you also dress kimonos?

Like to....
 
I'd love to wear kimonos, but they are so expensive, got to save up... I went on one fashion site, they were like, $800.00!!!:eek:

in High School we had an Asian themed prom becuz
of the Koreans in our skool~
anyway, I thought about buying a
kimono for it but the only place(besides online) that
I found them at was the Mall of America & they
were super expensive...so I scratched that. lol
But they are really pretty...I wouldn't wear them
even if I could afford them though for fear of ruining
them somehow :/

I'm sorry y'all, but I gotta say this. No one but asian girls look good in kimono. Seriously. A white chick in a kimono is like a fat person wearing horizontal stripes, or a man in Daisy Dukes. Something is inherently wrong.

vs.

Ugh

Whities, stick to cocktail dresses. Please. If you imagined my skinny white ass in some traditional African clothes, you'd break a rib laughing too :D

it's a good thing I'm not a "whitie" then, isn't it?
:rolleyes:
I think it depends on which Caucasian wears it.
Although, I don't know why they would...
Kimono's aren't exactly casual~ lol

I've seen plenty of all colors of people try it - it ain't pretty. I guess it's for the "tee hee, I'm trying new things!" factor but I can't stand it. Even my (Japanese) girlfriend said "I hate to say it but kimono are asian only, just like asian guys look funny in tuxedos"

i know a german site where to buy it, they cost around 100-200€ that would be 150-300$ i think

edit: they are cheaper then i thougt, they cost less 100€ so they aren´t that expensive and they are imported from japan so i don´t think they are of bad quality
