Measuring Guide
Back Length
The back length of the kimono measures from the base of your neck to the hemline. For an ankle-length kimono, choose a back length that complements your height. If you prefer a kimono that reaches half-shin or knee-length, we recommend selecting a shorter back length.
How to Measure Back Length:
- Stand upright and relaxed.
- Place a measuring tape at the base of your neck, and measure down to your desired length.
- Record the measurement in centimeters.
Shoulder Width
Yugto kimonos are cut with a generous shoulder width to provide the perfect flow and drape. This means our shoulder measurements are often wider than average, enhancing the kimono’s elegance and allowing for ease of movement.
How to Measure Shoulder Width:
- With your shoulders relaxed, measure from the tip of one shoulder to the other across your back.
- Keep the tape straight and record the measurement in centimeters.
Important Note About Shoulder Width:
The shoulder width also affects the fit, especially if you choose to wear the kimono open. If you have narrower shoulders, the kimono will hang lower, adding a bit of extra length. Keep this in mind when selecting your back length, especially if you want a specific look.
Arm Length
Arm length is measured from the neckline to the wrist or desired sleeve length. The sleeves will appear longer when the kimono is worn open, providing a flowing, relaxed fit. When wrapped, the sleeves will feel a bit shorter and the fit will be snugger.
Wearing Your Kimono: Open vs. Wrapped
-
Wearing Open: Creates a loose, flowing look where sleeves and length may extend slightly.
-
Wearing Wrapped: The fit is snugger, reducing the visible sleeve length and the overall back length of the kimono by a few centimeters.
