Question: Somewhere online I can buy a formal Japanese kimono?

I really really want a kimono for prom, but so far I've only been able to find kinda dressing gown-looking ones, not the amazing (probably much more expensive) formal ones. Help? :)

Answer: I don't really recommend wearing a kimono to prom (for a lot of reasons), but if you really want to and you want an actual authentic one, you can find second-hand ones all over the internet. Ichiroya, Yamatoku, Kimono Lily, and Ryu Japan sell them. You can also find them on eBay or Yahoo Japan Auctions. However, I don't suggest using eBay unless you are familiar enough with authentic kimono to separate the good stuff from the junk and to recognize when a price is going too high, and you need to go through a shopping service like Celga to use Yahoo Japan Auctions.

Keep in mind that there are a lot of rules for wearing kimono and that you really MUST follow them. Also keep in mind that in order to wear a kimono you need a lot more than just the kimono. By formal kimno I'm assuming you mean a furisode, so to wear that properly you will need:
- A kimono slip, or a good substitute (like a dress slip and a t-shit with a low-cut neck)
- a matching juban (you want to make sure the juban sleeves are just a tiny bit shorter than the kimono sleeves so it will fit right)
- A fukuro obi or a maru obi (anything else is too informal)
- An appropriate obi age (find one made of shibori) and obi jime (usually very thick and round with metallic threads woven in)
- A pair of tabi and formal zori
- The obi ita, obi makura, and several ties for holding things in place and giving things the right shape.

Things you may want to include:
- A high-decorated han eri
- One or more date/kasane eri
- Kanzashi
- A fur stole (real or fake) if the weather will be cool.

Keep in mind that none of this is cheap -- putting together the entire outfit will cost hundreds of dollars even if you buy it all second-hand. Also, while it is possible to put a furisode on by yourself, it's very difficult, so you will probably want to find someone who is willing to help you dress. The two of you should study basic kimono dressing rules and the methods for tying the obi together so you know what you're doing.
