Wear a kimono

This would be a dream. Kimono’s are so elegant and beautiful, I prefer the look to any cocktail dress or chic design. If only I could find a kimono around here…

I don’t have to OWN one [though that would be nice (^_) ].
My aunt was given one (or was it two?) by her mother-in-law.
She gave it to my other aunt and she was thinking of giving it to me (SCORE!--well, almost)

As a teen that loves the Japanese culture I would LOVE to do this!

so if anyone can helf in belfast please say hi xxxxxxxxxx

At a cultural workshop. One of the ladies running it put me into a kimono. It was a lot of fun. :)

As a cross dresser i just love the look x

I’ve been reading a lot about the history and anthropology of geisha and kimono. Now I’d love to at least try one on.

I was introduced to the kimono by my boss and co-workers, most of whom are Japanese. We work in a fairly traditional Japanese restaurant and sushi bar where the waitresses have worn kimono, during dinner hoursfor the past 35 years. I feel very lucky to have been taught how to wear a basic kimono and impress my boss by learning how to tie different obi. I love being able to wear my kimono outside of work whenever I get the chance and help others to learn how to wear them.

Kimono is such a beautiful dress. I love the different textiles and cloth used. I love the motifs and the colours too. I saw women wearing them when I visited Japan. I would love to wear one someday but I believe they are very expensive.

I collect and show kimono at various locations during the year… it’s an amazing art and such a joy to work with. If you ever have the chance to own one, they are just like pieces of wear-able art. If you are one of the lucky ones who learn to wear them, it’s something you should be proud of as it’s a dying art. Long live kimono : )
