Kimono Over
Posted in Japan on 12/11/2009 06:20 am by kaibyaku
I have a question about wearing a kimono?
I wish to wear a kimono for a Halloween party ( I would be getting a real one, as I intend to hang it for a wall decoration after).
I am wondering if it is even possible for a hourglass figure to even wear a kimono well.
Yes, but to get it to fit properly you'll need to use padding at your waist. The hourglass shape isn't the ideal profile for kimono, it's much more of a straight/tubular shape (not a very flattering description I know, but it winds up looking nice). You don't need a lot, a thin towel on each side to fill out the hollows will do. In the end though, it really depends on how authentic you want to be as to whether or not you get into padding. I think you could get away without it.
