I had countless unforgettable moments during my Japan Trip but having to wore the Kimono dress was one of it. Thank you to Machi-mama for sharing her expertise and articulately dressing me without any hesitation and for free.
The
kimono is a Japanese traditional garment. The word "kimono", which actually means a "thing to wear" (
ki "wear" and
mono "thing"),
has come to denote these full-length robes. The standard plural of the word kimono in English is
kimonos, but the unmarked Japanese plural
kimono
is also sometimes used. Kimono is always used in important festival or
formal moments, it is the representative of polite and a very formal
clothing.
Kimono are T-shaped, straight-lined robes worn so that the hem falls to the ankle, with attached collars and long, wide sleeves Kimono are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial)
and secured by a sash called an
obi which is tied at the back. Kimono are generally worn with traditional footwear and split-toe sock. (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimono)
