Help seagulls I know you guys know about traditional Japanese wear.

I have a yukata I want to wear to a festival, but I don't have an obi. I'm thinking pre-tied because I am garbage in it's purest form. What stores online do you recommend? Also would it be horrible to wear geta without socks? And possible good places to buy geta with a little style? I don't wanna look dumpy.

Also general traditional clothing thread. Questions and answers here.

Speaking of yukatas, do they ever come in two pieces (like, if they did do they have another name)? Or is the line I see in them under the belt a fold or something? I mean like in this pic.

Inb4 judgement for posting Sonico. I like Sonico, and this would be an easy costume to knock together. I just want find out if it is two pieces or not so I get it right when I make it.

>>8431510
It's one piece. That "line" under the belt is the yukata folded. When you wear the yukata, you are supposed to tie a thin belt then pull up the yukata and fold it over that tie. You do this because usually the yukata is too long and needs to be shortened. Then you put on the obi over that folded area to keep everything neat and in place.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jun 26 23:19:12 2015 No.8431600 >>8431531 Okay, thank you. I'm fairly tall, so it means probably lengthening a pattern and/or cheating because that sounds more complicated.

The summery wooden geta worn with yukata don't require socks, but do get a pretty pedicure, please. Tie the yukata together with at least 2 himo, an obi (pre-tied or not) does NOT hold it closed correctly. Google kitsuke for yukata so you can learn how things go together. Required stuff all available on eBay. Practice a couple of times before you wear it out. Don't forget a fan and little bag and cute hairstyle.

This is a tough one that will depend on your build. It looks pretty loafy with big boobs. Also the look is called ko furisode, usually involves a furisode not just any kimono and its most commonly seen at graduations ceremonies and miko uniforms

OP said she has a yukata. Hakama are worn with kimono and more dressy shoes (or boots) and accessories. It's both more difficult and usually more expensive to do this look.

>>8431220
Yes you can wear the natural wooden geta without socks with a yukata. You will need 1-2 koshi himo to hold the yukata closed, an obi, and I recommend an obi cord (obijime) . There are tutorials online on 'how to wear yukata' so you can learn and practice.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 27 22:56:02 2015 No.8433517 >>8431220 Also, their hair looks terrible. There are whole books on hair styling for Japanese to wear with kimono and yukata for all occasions. I'm sure there are also some pictures/tutorials online.

Does anyone have good links to shops that sell full sets that aren't completely ass ugly?
I've tried looking on rakuten but I'm frustrated because all of the nicer ones are rental only for like 4-5 days and the fuckers want close to $300 for the chore.

I ordered mine direct, with accessories but I can use translation and only used Japanese for questions and emails, etc. They were lovely, answered my questions patiently and the transaction was fast and easy and my order contsined extra gifts. Maybe it depends which shop you use within Rakuten though.

I used the rakuten english site and it shipped just fine. You can still find used ones for a good price on the world wide site.

Dear everyone ITT.

Please don't buy 'vintage' shit yukata or kimono from like yamatoku or ebay or whatever, you will look like an old hag. Even fucking old hags don't wear that shit.

All the girls in OP(including the dead one) are wearing ugly as hell yukata. Don't be a greasy dumb weeb about it. Get the good stuff.

Buy cute ones, I have about 50 different rakuten shop links. You can even get alright furisode for about $300 from some of them them.

I didn't mean all vintage kimono, I mean the "vintage" garbage that western stores try to pass off, that's why it was in quotes. Yamatoku always sells the tackiest shit from the 70s for way over priced and ebay is even worse.

The girls in OP are wearing either crappy ebay weeby kimono(the hiragana one is especially bad) or ones for older women.

The joke is no matter how bad that girl looks everyone just acts like she's perfection. Its been a part of /cgl/ board culture. The fact that you are raging hard over the fact that you didn't understand it just proves that you are the ultimate summerfag. or do I have to explain what summerfag means to you as well?

That I can agree with, though I'm not familiar with that particular shop, I know the kind though everyone starts somewhere. I did say OP's photo was not wrll done.

I'm just learning myself, but I have several. I am practicing good kitsuke before I wear anything out. It's quite something to learn!
So far, I buy from a dealer in Kyoto and new yukata off a known quality modern brand.
It's a great hobby but most people don't realize what's involved to look even presentable.

Why would you wear tabi to being with ? Geta aren't meant to be worn with tabi, you can chose to wear tabi if your geta are varnished when you chose to wear geta with a komon kimono or a yukara styled as a kimono (fake collar, full obi, obiage and obijime)

Damn. I had the bookmark and name a long time ago but had to refrag my comp and lost all that data.

It was listed on Rakuten Market a while back though and the side scroll Kimonomachi F was part of the name I believe. There might be an old yukata blog with a reverse searchable image of it somewhere.

Question regarding the girl's obi in pic - is the obi patterned to look like that or did she wrap it in a specific way to get those "slices" of color?

Also, anyone have some obi-tying guides?
