The yakutas look a little challenging actually for all the reasons you stated. I'd go for a more western influenced one in a petite range - its those crucial 1 or 2 inches which make all the difference to us small ladies.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-16875323718352285012014-04-08T22:08:59.289+01:002014-04-08T22:08:59.289+01:00I don't think I'm a proper 'kimono'...I don't think I'm a proper 'kimono' sort of gal Sue but ... if I were it would be the New Look one - like it especially with the shorts - love a good Boho vibe! :)Jenny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702344918493480777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-54705322790212199922014-04-08T16:04:42.026+01:002014-04-08T16:04:42.026+01:00Watch this space ;)Watch this space ;)Leucadiagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183329808779199388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-56865794194237649792014-04-08T11:44:25.305+01:002014-04-08T11:44:25.305+01:00Love the red one!

And I see it is a petite one too :) I've always loved that kind of look in summer, light and airy, and tried on a lot of these summer yukata things they sell in Japan. But I never quite found one that suited me - too long, too baggy, or maybe myself is too short for these. But the New Look ones seem like a YES!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258704812525496584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-87420365247977170772014-04-08T11:14:07.399+01:002014-04-08T11:14:07.399+01:00Just been to nosey at the Seasalt site and the tea...Just been to nosey at the Seasalt site and the teal colours of the kimonos they have there are lovely. It all depends on how they are cut as to how they lie across your top half which is why I was quite happy with the red one but not so keen on the ASOS one me as it made me look heavier on top.

They go well with the jeans. They're not real leather but they are a good imitation leather - had me fooled.

Not so much with the first one and not so much with the last Topshop one but quite likely with the New Look one as that one is the lightest. But I won't worry about it too much as we're going with the sexy shoulders look when it's the height of summer. <br /><br />And shame about the kimonos you have - you picked up a beautiful one in the sales in Zara last year didn't you?
