Question: the japanese wrap kimono blouses.?

i really need some ladies advice, i have been gettin very bad reviews on my wearin the japanese wrap kimono blouses with jeans and capris, i was told by my co- workers that jeans, and capris, are not meant to wear with such elegant,classy,blouses, i should only wear skirts, and trousers, as that type blouse to fancy to wear with just anything, well my opinion is that, mine are not satin are silk, other wise i would wear more dressy attire with them, so tell me if u know about these type blouses, and have seem them plz ladies, give me some ideas on how to dress wearin such blouses, cuz if wearin jeans is not right then i need to know??? honest opinions only thank you.
honest opinions and good ideas will help me thanks..

Answer: It's ok. It's like taking something that is very formal and dressing it downa bit. It's not a bad thing. It's the same as wearing silk slips over jeans.. i'm just a bit concerned about the capris though... nix them please... but wait... they are making a comeback... LOL... the style is however, very tapered and sleek.. almost like cropped skinny jeans...

So, with your concern with the kimono blouses and the jeans.. I say it's ok.. don't wear the same style over and over again.. it would seem too worn out.. even if its not the same shirt... it could still seem very repetitve.. as for wearing them with trousers... it's not a bady idea too.. still casual and office like... oooh... you could aslo wear them with tight pencil skirts (A line Skirt if your pear shaped) and sky high heels (if you can stand it.. I say.. endure them.. just take them off when no one's looking)... LOL.... a basic blosk color is good for the skirt and trou.. no prints... let the kimono strand out...

Hope I helped....

Question: where can i buy a kimono online?

this kimono isn't a regular one. the type i'm looking for has very long sleeves and a long body. it's a combination of a Hikizuri's length and a furisode's sleeve length. silk catches on things and tears but if it's all that's available then i'll take it. can anyone help please?

Answer: Kimono with furisode sleeves and hikizuri length are usually just called hikizuri, or sometimes you'll see wedding kimono called hikifurisode.

Anyway, check Yamatoku, Ichiroya, Kimono Lily, and Ryu Japan. If you can't find what you want there, search for hikizuri on eBay. You might also consider looking on Bokunan-do, but their items are brand-new and usually quite expensive. If even that fails, just look for a super-long regular furisode, or one that you wouldn't mind taking apart and altering to make it longer. Many "hikizuri" are actually furisode that were taken apart at the waist seam and then sewn back together with extra fabric between the top and bottom parts. The obi hides the extra fabric, so nobody but you knows what you're really wearing.
