How To wear the Yukata

The Flow of Wearing The Female Yukata

6. Ohashori folds

Movie

Slide both hands into the Yukata through the side openings, Miyatsuguchi, and settle the Ohashori folds in the front and in the back.
Bring the collar ends together at the front.
Hold them with your right hand, and stand sideways to the mirror.
With your left hand, pull down your Kimono from the back until the collar is about 5cm away from the back of your neck. The back line of the Kimono now looks straight. Shift the collars in the front so that they cover the busts.
Can you see how the front fold, the Ohashori, looks too thick and loose with the two panels folded together?
Let's avoid it by folding up the inner Shitamae fold at an angle so it will be behind the obi sash, like this. Now the Ohashori looks much smarter with only the fold of the Uwamae panel.
