Sizing:
Length: you would normally choose a women's kimono that seems too long for you Although one that is floor lengt is fine too, which means any kimono that is either longer than your height, the same as your height, or up to 10” (25cm) shorter than your height. The excess material is then pulled up and folded over at the waist, this fold-over of kimono fabric is called ohashiori and usually shows beneath the obi sash. If the kimono is around 12” (30cm) shorter than your full height, you can wear it without any fold. This is becoming a popular way of wearing kimono for young women nowadays and is also the way that men traditionally wear their kimono. If the length of the kimono is moe than 12” (30cm) less than your height it will be too short to wear the traditional way but you can still wear it in a more contemporary above ankle way or as a robe. To see where the bottom of any kimono would sit on you, take the length of the kimono and compare it with the length of the measurement from the base of the back of your neck down to our feet.
Japanese clothing is usually of adjustable fit, being mostly wrap-over or tie-to-fit items, so most garments fit a range of sizes. Because of this (and only really knowing my own size anyway) I can't really advise anyone on the fit. Please judge fit from the measurements given.Measure from centre back of neck, along shoulder and down the arm to the wrist, then double that and compare it with the sleeve end measurement to judge sleeve length. If shown modelled, the woman in the photos is 125 cm from wrist to wrist.

  • Kimono require a sash to hold them closed. This is always bought separately. Men usually wear a kaku obi with their kimono or, casually at home, a soft heko obi

    Sizing: Japanese clothing is usually of adjustable fit, being mostly wrap-over or tie-to-fit items, so most garments fit a range of sizes. Because of this (and only really knowing my own size anyway) I can't really advise anyone on the fit. Please judge fit from the measurements given. Check length given for the garment, then measure from base of back of your neck down to judge that length on you
    Also measure from centre back of neck, along shoulder and down the arm to the wrist, then double that and compare it with the sleeve end measurement to judge sleeve length

    Some of my garments have white stitching (shitsuke) round the outside edges to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment

    Cleaning: Be very cautious about washing kimonos. All cleaning is done entirely at your own risk, as is standard with all vintage garments and items. I would advise only dry cleaning

    Colour: Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently. Therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only
