Currently planning on putting my tax return towards a "craft shack", essentially a shed for crafts and doll customizing. My grandfather said he'd help me run electricity to it and install shelves and such so i can turn it into an actual art studio. Hopefully it'll at least be on the property by some time in April so I can get it ready by the beginning of summer. Then I'll have my own space for customizing my tiny plastic children and taking pi three of them.

Currently in kimono fever after coming across some pretty fabric a month or so back. I still have a green color piece to finish up.

I wanna ask the folks here.
- if basing on fabric alone, cotton is consider yukata or still manage to edge into the kimono department but more causal depnding on how the fabric looks?
- If you line the cotton, does it get upgraded to Kimono?
- Or just finish the green color piece already, you have only two weeks left for this. :lol: :lol:

Medium Helen is wearing the blue one for now.

From my understanding the biggest difference is yukata are cotton (and various polyesters) while kimono are silk.
Other differences I can recall off the top of my head include:
* Yukata are unlined (as they're normally used during the hot summer and after baths), while kimono may or may not be lined depending on their intended purpose.
* Yukata are generally more standardized in style/design, while kimono tend to vary quite a bit more, as they're usually custom made. (This is probably less true now-a-days then years back thanks to the various ease of manufacture inventions that've cropped up)

I've heard these next two from a much smaller number of sources so not sure how accurate they are (though now that I've typed them they seem to be the same piece of information)
* Kimono are always worn with at least one 'skirt' (this is basically a more plain kimono/yukata shaped slip made from a variety of materials including silk, cotton, wool, and various polyesters)
* A kimono will always have a minimum of 2 collars. (as the collars of the 'skirt(s)' are visible when wearing a kimono, this is probably the same information as the one above but presented in a less useful way.)

There's also the various cultural bindings the two garments have, but those haven't seemed super important to the actual construction of them (other then basic understanding of why particular materials are chosen.

I'd like to again stress that this is only my current understanding of the differences between the two and that I'm only an american peering into the culture as best I can.


Edit: also, forgot to say that I really like how your garments are turning out.

Lol Thanks. I know what you mean.

When I started out doing this I was aiming for the Homongi style(something like what Megu-Chun is wearing) since it was formal enough for both married and unmarried characters to wear when needed for projects. But a suitable fabric was difficult to find outside of Japan and I like the gradient fabric. By now I would think that it may be able to sneak into the Komon territory.

But meh, since the outfit itself is meant for a Youkai cat type character, she gets to bend a bit of the rules until I can find a suitable fabric. Otherwise she would have to settle for a solid color silk piece. Life is tough enough when you're a 50cm Obitsu and Iple SID woman who are too small or too big for usually available stuff.
