There's like a couple of model photos for JetJ yukata with really high collars, too, so I don't really know what to think (JetJ isn't even particularly modest, when you consider they show a lot of shoulders frequently, lol). On the other hand, this is such a messy ohashori... maybe even Japanese people mess up kitsuke sometimes, even for important photoshoots.

I usually put kitsuke rules behind lolita rules for wa-loli, as the kimono becomes something being used for lolita fashion, rather than lolita fashion being added on top of a kimono.

The opposite end of that would be the lolita kimono (eg this JetJ yukata, which is breaking a few kitsuke rules...), I'd put kitsuke as higher priority than lolita rules, because it's lolita styling and accessories being applied to a kimono outfit rather than a lolita outfit, if that makes sense?

There's also all those creative (non lolita) outfits featured in kimono-hime which break all sorts of kitsuke rules, and can't really be worn to anyplace formal, so I usually lump in wa-lolita with that. It's something that I wouldn't show up to a tea ceremony or somebody's graduation in, but it's still a fun way to get creative with clothes and kimonos.
