FAQ
What are the main differences between a women's kimono and a men's kimono?
Women's kimonos are distinguished by their bright colors, sleeves not attached to the rest of the garment, and a more flexible collar. Their obi, wide and tied high in a sophisticated manner, contrasts with that of men, which is narrower, worn lower on the hips, and men's kimonos, generally in more muted shades, with sleeves attached directly to the body of the garment.
How to choose the right size for a women's kimono, given that they are often made to measure?
To determine the ideal size for a custom-made women's kimono, it is important to follow several steps: Measure your height and subtract 25 to 40 cm for the perfect length. Also take your chest, waist, and hip measurements for the best fit. Consider your body shape and preferences for sleeve length and back width. Note that formal kimonos tend to be longer. If possible, seek the expertise of a professional for personalized measurements and adjustments.
What are the different types of women's kimonos and on what occasions are they worn?
There are several styles of women's kimonos, each suited to specific occasions:
Furisode : With its long sleeves and elaborate patterns, this kimono is reserved for young, single women and often worn for New Year's or coming-of-age ceremonies.
Tomesode : The most formal, intended for married women, with designs only below the waist, ideal for weddings and tea ceremonies.
Uchikake : An ornate kimono worn by brides at their wedding, characterized by its intricate decorations.
Hitoe : Lighter, this single-layer summer kimono is suitable for daily activities.
Iromuji : Solid in color, it is suitable for tea ceremonies or semi-formal events.
What are the basic rules to follow to wear a kimono in a traditional and elegant way?
