Yukata!

Summer is a time for Yukata! Yukata is a kimono made simply for the summertime when it is hot and humid. The yukata is airy and light and are mostly made of cotton. They are casual kimonos that are worn at summer festivals or in bath houses. Yukata's are relatively affordable as well. Most ranging from 39 us dollars to 200 for a set with tabi socks and an obi sash. If you're interested in one for yourself there are two nice places where you can purchase them. One is Ichiroya, of course. A well known kimono outlet. The other is the yukata kimono market Sakura. They of hundreds of beautiful Yukata's for this summer!

Of course, Second Life kimono creators have come out with new summer yukata's as well. We'll begin with a new creation from a lovely store called toutou-ann called Karen Momo. It comes in several colors, but I adore this pinky burgundy one. Is pinky really an adjective? Anyway, the obi is so pretty and ornate with pearls and chiffon. This store has several lovely kimonos, you should definitely go there and check it out! The kanzashi is the second set of Karuyakai
