it was used in a small theatrical performance.
Mostly
I use it as refernce material while I am trying to design, make and sew
my own kimono for a 42 year old male, 5'7, weighing 250#.... quite a
challenge.

The yukata has purple and white flowers, each outlined in gold. The obi
is purple with sparkles, butterflies and a fancy line design. I like
to wear this with flowers in my hair and jewelry, taking hints from
recent trends. I put together the decoration in the front and sculpted
the leaf! I wear this yukata as often as I can.

* For my styling I was trying to create a calming
summer affect with the fun dragonfly/flower pattern and decided to use
a matching color with the obi so that it would not draw away from the
pattern on the yukata.
* Megan / New York, USA

* Here
are a few pictures of me wearing my first yukata set at the Natsu
Matsuri in Alabama. The yukata that I am wearing has a splash of dark
and light pink floral arrangements on a maroon colored background. The
obi came along with the yukata and was arranged into a butterfly in the
back. The other accessories such as the red ume flower obi belt,
kinchaku bag and koshihimo (which is not seen) was purchased from the
Shimazakura website! I purchased
this yukata while studying abroad in Japan this past summer.
