About the Japanese Kimono traditional yukata dress
The Yukata is a simplified, unlined version of the formal kimono, traditionally worn in cotton during Japanese summer festivals (matsuri) and at ryokan (traditional inns). The characteristic features — wide sleeves (furisode), a straight-cut silhouette, a wrapped front and a tied sash (obi) — are all present in this design, making it an authentic reference point while remaining accessible for modern wear.
