- Keep all the necessary sashes, belts and ties near your reach. Draped on the back of a chair or a towel hanger for example.
- Drape the Yukata onto your shoulders from behind.
- Slip both hands into each sleeve.
- Hold on to the sleeves and reach out horizontally.
- Settle the Yukata on your shoulders so that the center seam rests in the middle of your back.
- Now hold the front ends of the collar lines together.
- Bring the right panel across your front to the left hipbone.
- The left panel to your right so that the end line overlaps the side seam of the Yukata.
- This red line is the side seam, Wakinuime.
- It's best if it overlaps 2~3cm.
- Keep the collar opening at the front not too tight or loose.
- Don't leave too much space behind the neck.
