And might be a more unique and stylish robe than {a classic|a retro|an antique} Japanese kimono? And you don't have to go to Japan to find a great kimono, they are easily obtained online these days.

I love it {once i|after i|while i} see an actor in a movie wearing a kimono as a robe like Sandra Oh in "Under The Tuscan Sun", Michelle Pfiefer in "White Oleander", and Miranda Richardson and Polly Walker in "Enchanted April".

Most kimonos are made of silk although some synthetics can be found. {This really is|This is certainly|This can be} something to take into consideration when taking into consideration the {treatment|attention|health care} involved with {a classic|a retro|an antique} kimono. Since most {classic|retro|antique} kimonos are also {covered|layered|padded} with silk you really can't wash them without risking shrinkage, so they do have to be dry cleaned, something to consider if you are sensitive to dry cleaning chemicals. If so then a synthetic fabric would be {an improved} choice since those usually can be washed. Or you {may find|can find} an unlined kimono and wash it very carefully and line dry.

{An additional|One more|One other} great option is the Japanese cotton summer dress called a Yukata. {These types of are incredibly|These kinds of are incredibly} popular in {Asia|Nippon} to wear during the hotter {summer season|summertime|warm weather} and are also used as {washing|showering|baths} robes. This is also a great option for men as cotton kimonos are available in a wider range of sizes than silk kimonos.

{Unless of course|Except if|Until} you are a size 14 and under you will have a harder time locating {a classic|a retro|an antique} silk kimono {which will be|that is to be|that is} {spacious|large|ample} enough to be {cozy|comfortable|secure}. There are two reasons for this. One is that since the {Western|Japanese people} people are so small {overall|generally speaking|generally} there really {isn't very|basically|just isn't} a with regard to larger size kimonos. {As well as the|Plus the} other is that the silk fabrics that {classic|retro|antique} kimonos {are manufactured from are|are produced from are|are made of are} much {narrow|less wide} in width, {which explains why|this is why|that is why} kimonos have a seam down the back.

But {modern day|modern-day} kimono manufacturers are making larger kimonos so you might want to find a new kimono {rather than} a vintage one if you are a plus sized gal.

So if the only robe {dangling|suspending|clinging} in your closet is your basic cotton terry cloth or perhaps your dad's old cast off, think about updating your lingerie wardrobe with {a wonderful|a sensational} vintage Japanese kimono.
