3. Start Wearing
- Holding the collar of the Yukata, drape it onto your shoulders from behind.
- Slip both hands into each sleeve.
- Hold on to the sleeves with each hand and reach out horizontally.
- Adjust so that the center seam of the Yukata rests in the middle of your back.
- Stand side ways to the mirror. Hold the front panels together in front of you.
- Slide the hands down to the collar ends and hold them with your right hand.
- Reach to the center back with your other hand and adjust the length of the hem line.
- Tuck it up until it is about 2cm from the ground in the back, and at the length just enough to cover your ankles at the sides.
- Holding the collar ends with each hand, bring the left panel, Uwa-mae, across the front to your right hip bone to measure the width of your front panel.
- Making sure the back position is firm against your hips, return to the open position, and bring the right panel, Shita-mae, to your left lifting the corner of the hem.
- Tsuma-saki at the toes for, about 5cm off the floor.
- Wrap the Uwa-mae as well, lifting the corner of the hem, tsumasaki at the toes, this time, about 4cm.
- The silhouette of the Yukata will have a stylish narrowing line at the bottom. It is best if the collar end overlaps the side seam of the Yukata for about 2~3cm.
- It has finished.
