Answer: Lol , i'm a boy and although i'm not too good with naming women's styles , I can help you out .
I kinda like the 2nd one 'coz it looks stylish and neat but at the same time gorgeous if you have a hair style (long and loose , like left out loose)
And I don't know what are leggings but if you're talking about the ones Miley Cyrus wears in her 'The Climb' video

Question: how long do you think this would take-- makeing costumes?

ok, i need about 6 girl kimono and 5 Japanese style robes for guys about how long would it take to make them

Answer: I think it's going to depend on a few things;
are the girls' kimono(s) going to be the same size? Are the boys'? If so, then you can lay out the fabric you're going to use and cut them all at once. If you're careful to pin the layers together so that everything is flat, it should save you a lot of time.
Another time saver will be to pin everything you can first, and then sit down at the machine and stitch everything. Start with a darker color and go to lighter or the reverse. Then press everything you can at one time.
Even better, if you can have someone help you by pinning while you stitch, you can really crank them out. My mother & I used to do that -we'd make 3 or 4 outfits in a weekend that way.
Once everything is together then you'll have to spend some time fitting -read, mostly pinning hems for each person?- and sewing by hand if you decide to hem them that way.
Depending on the detail you want/need to do, the faster you put the main pieces together, the more time you'll have for the fine detailing (the fun stuff).
If you have to use slippery fabrics, you won't be able to lay out as many layers together, but I think you can do two at a time if you're very careful about pinning the patterns and cloth, and making sure the material is laid out exactly right. This is the one time that you need to "sweat the small stuff" because of the way kimonos have to fall to look right. Take your time there and you'll be happy with the results later.
I hope this will help.
Best of luck, and I'd love to see a picture when you're done or see a pictorial of the project. :0)
