Black, and then covered in flowers. The Japanese Floral Kimono Robe is a full-length yukata-style robe printed with cherry blossom, peony and chrysanthemum in pink, white and pale blue, with the wide square sleeves that give the shape its whole character. It wraps left over right and ties at the waist — no buttons, no zip, no sizing to get wrong.

It is made from a lightweight polyester satin with a soft sheen, so it drapes and moves rather than holding stiff, and it packs down small without creasing badly. One size fits most women: the robe is cut generously and the wrap front means the fit adjusts to you, not the other way round. The chart below gives length, bust, waist and sleeve in US inches so you can check the reach before ordering.

It suits Halloween parties and costume contests, anime and comic conventions, Halloween parties, cultural events and performances, photo shoots, and wearing at home as a robe. It photographs beautifully, which is most of why people buy it. Add a wide obi sash at the waist and flat sandals if you want the full traditional silhouette, or wear it open over black as a long duster and it reads as a coat rather than a costume. The satin takes light well in a dim room, and the sleeves are the part people notice first when you move.

Size & Fit

Every measurement here is taken from the robe itself, laid flat and listed in US inches — allow up to 1 in either way. Bust and waist are given as ranges because the front wraps and overlaps, so the same robe closes comfortably across a wide span; the lower figure is a close wrap, the upper is the widest it will still cross over. Robe length is measured from the shoulder to the hem and falls at the ankle on most people. It is worn over your own clothes or underlayer.
