Coming in April of this year, I and several friends will be attending Anime Detour, a convention dedicated to all things Anime, Manga and Japanese. I will be bringing with me three costumes, one of which will be my current favourite yakuta kimono to wear in case I tire of the other two. It is an old dusty-rose coloured yakuta, believed to be made of rattan or a dense cotton, I'm not exactly sure yet. It has this neat pattern of irises in an off white colour with greys and a little black here and there in the pattern. I will try and post pictures of it later. I am not one to like the colour pink, but it just speaks to me and fits me correctly with the exception of the sleeves. They fall a little short, but I want it known that this was for everyday use, so the formality of this yakuta falls short there and is perfect for around the house and errands as Inga had implied. I am excited for the convention. I also plan on bringing my mock footwear and the tabi socks for more authenticity.
Needless to say, I'll fit right in. ;D
