My wife and I rented the kimono's that you wear for the wedding reception, man I loved it, try to post some pics. Had to hire a woman that knew how to wrap us in it.

It looks nice, but that's a kimono, not a yukata, (as far as I can see). It seems kinda black for summer...

Well i cant seem to find another color that i like (red or yellow) all i can find are blacks, browns, and blues. Iam not a fan of brown or blue, and iam sure id get some weird looks wearing a yellow kimono.

I really love Kimonos ^^. I think that's the most beautiful Clothes in Japan, right? ^^. I wish I could have a chance to see Kimonos my eyes ^^.

KuChIkI 01-03-2008 11:53 PM
I have this old kimono that's actually from Hong-Kong, but it looks pretty Japanese. It's reallly short from the waist down, though. It just barely went past my knees.

graciegirl 01-16-2008 02:49 AM
pweassse?!
 
:ywave: i've worn kimono too. i kind of know how to tie obi. unfortunately i don't have any kimono anymore. i only have two vintage obi from the 1920's japan. can any one tell me where to buy the under sashes, knot pillows, and all the things used to keep them shut? i'm not thin so it's really hard for me to find any thing. could anyone tell me where to get plus size kimono,yukata,and furisode?yhgirl:

Visit my newly opened web site, "Japanese Kimono Lovers" (http://kimonolovers.blogspot.com/), which shows how to wear a kimono step by step with lots of pictures :-)

Mihoko 01-25-2008 12:31 AM
How to wear a kimono weblog is open
 
Hi, I just opened my web site for Japanese kimono lovers (http://kimonolovers.blogspot.com/), which shows how to wear a kimono step by step with lots of pictures :-)

For Furisode Obi sash, there are lots of knotting styles. I also pictured them with description in both English/Japanese.

Visit my site and have a fun :vsign:

MiuMaruChan 01-25-2008 02:59 AM

The lecture was given by a graduate from a Kimono School in Japan. They also displayed kimono in glass cases. Those silk embroidered furisode are beautiful works of art. Expensive too. When you buy the furisode, obi, and all the accessories the price easily equals that of a car. :eek:

I bought a Kimono from the Collection du Japon boutique at the fair. But now I don't know what to do with it

Anyways, here are pics ^_^


Furisode. Worn by young unmarried women, they are the most expensive and elaborately designed. Kirei!


Yukata. Light summer kimono usually made of cotton. Popular wear for matsuri, bon odori.


Kimono is win! I think kimono wins because of its elegance.

I have a collection of kimono pictures. I can share if you like.
where do they sell them?

Minorea 03-18-2008 12:05 PM
Arg, I really, REALLY want to go to Japan!
I want to a real kimono (or yakata)
I want a real sunshade,
I want EVERYTHING!

I looking for kimono or yuakata in here, but those what I saw cost too much and are not very good anymore.

kimazy 03-23-2008 03:55 AM

For an observer there's no difference, so there's no reason to be nitpicking.
Visually there is not a lot of difference, but unless the one time I had an obi properly tied (or that is what I was told and it took quite a while) it felt more fitted and secure than the snap-on ones. Of course if the snap-on on is custom made to fit snugly then the feel should not be different unless there is less fabric to add to the weight of the obi.

I am still needing to make a good obi for my kimono so I can wear to A-Kon in May. I have had my favorite deep purple kimono with white crane since the early '90s and have never made or found the right obi for it. Its seems I am always grabbing a last minute substitution, so I guess I better get busy if I want it to look right this time!

I have a blue cotton yakuta my mother gave me a few years ago, but I don't wear it that often because it is a replica of one in the Smithsonian museum and I don't want to damage it.

I was wondering if any one knows of a good online shop or a physical place in NYC where you can buy kimono and obi accessories.

godwine 04-21-2008 06:49 PM
If you are traveling to Orlando, Diney's Epcot resort has a World Lagoon thingy that have a Japan section. There you will find a store, very similar to a standard sovenir store in Japan. Kimonos are available there.

I recently bought a very nice used kimono from Kimono Lily (was Chuu) for an extremely good price. They sell online, but also at a market in NYC. Here is the url for their page with directions. www.chuu.com/ctf/locationandshow

TalnSG 05-12-2008 01:28 PM
Question for someone.
What is the term (name?) for the cord or tie that holds a haori closed?

Does anyone have a good picture of a fancy one? I need to come up with a design for my black & silver haori.

Nekozawa 05-29-2008 02:18 AM
Hmm...
I wrote down a whole bunch of websites with kimono/kimono designs...
Let me fetch them...

NeoVisualizm 05-29-2008 11:35 AM
I completely adore Kimonos!!
I so want to wear one someday!! even tho it will be hard to walk in lol XD

Beside Kimono i love Yukata.. its simple but very beautiful ^^
I got one Yukata, in lolita style few days ago! I love it ^^
I may post the picture of it in here ^^

TalnSG 06-01-2008 03:38 AM
I've gotten a really nice kimono and a fabulous haori from Chuu.com at very reasonable prices.

sweetlolitachii 06-02-2008 11:57 PM
Kimonos are great. I have a children's yukata in my closet from my Japanese exchange sister, but that was years ago that she gave it to me. It's black with red, blue and yellow paper lanterns and hana. ^^

Jeebus 06-03-2008 12:24 AM

Daisuki13 06-03-2008 12:26 AM

Silvanoshei 06-11-2008 12:39 PM

INUYASHAGIRL 06-11-2008 06:32 PM

Yea....I want one so bad...except...i want InuYasha's!!!
InuYasha's kimono!! it's just so HOTT!!!
GIRLFRIEND MUST HAVE 2!! LOL

EveV 06-11-2008 06:35 PM
I would buy one.. But honestly I would probably wear it once.
A guy that frequently shows up at cons near me makes them and his are beautiful and a good price but a waste of money on my part x.x
