Well, hello there! Today, let’s gab a bit about them… uh… Japan-style dresses. You know, the ones that look like fancy bathrobes but ain’t for bathin’. Some folks call ’em “kee-moh-no” or somethin’. Sounds like a foreign word to me, but whatever, it’s just a dress, right?
I saw one of them picture shows once, on that little box in the corner of the room – the tee-vee, they call it. Anyways, these ladies in Japan, they wear these dresses with big sleeves and fancy belts. Looked mighty uncomfortable to me, all that fabric and stuff. But I guess it’s their way, and who am I to judge? They seem to like it alright. It’s their thing, you know?
Now, I ain’t no fashion expert, mind you. I wear what’s comfortable. But even I can see these Japan-style dresses are kinda pretty, in their own way. They got all sorts of fancy patterns on ’em – flowers, birds, even dragons sometimes. Real colorful, too. Not my cup of tea for everyday wear, though. Can you imagine tryin’ to do chores in one of them things? Why, you’d be trippin’ over yourself all day long! And good luck tryin’ to wash dishes, all that fabric would be soakin’ wet in no time!
- They got big sleeves
- Lots of fancy patterns
- Real colorful
But, I reckon, they ain’t just for everyday wear. They’re for special times, like weddings and parties and such. Like when our granddaughter got hitched last summer. She wore a white dress, not one of these Japan things, but it was fancy just the same. All lacy and whatnot. Made her look like a princess, it did. I guess these Japan dresses are kinda like that, for them Japanese folks. Makes ’em feel special and all dressed up. Makes them feel fancy like my granddaughter. It’s the same idea I guess.
And let me tell ya, these dresses ain’t cheap. I heard tell they can cost a pretty penny, especially if they’re made of silk or somethin’. Silk is good stuff, I know, ’cause my grandma had a silk scarf she used to wear to church on Sundays. Soft as a baby’s bottom, it was. But these Japan dresses, they use a whole lot more silk than a scarf, that’s for sure. So you can bet they cost a bundle. Ain’t no way I’m spendin’ my hard-earned money on somethin’ I can’t even wear to the grocery store. It’s too expensive. I’d rather buy a new chicken coop.
But, I gotta admit, they’re kinda beautiful, though. Like a piece of art you can wear. The way they flow and drape, it’s somethin’ else. And the colors! My goodness, the colors are so bright and cheerful. Makes you feel happy just lookin’ at ’em. Like a field of wildflowers in the springtime. It is just so pretty.
Now, there’s this store in the city, I heard about from my niece, that sells these Japan-style dresses. She went there lookin’ for somethin’ fancy for a party, and she saw all these dresses hanging on the racks. Said they had all kinds – long ones, short ones, even some that looked like bathrobes, just like the ones I saw on the tee-vee. She said the store is called something like, you-nee-klo. I don’t know, young folks are always making up new words I don’t know. She tried one on, just for fun, and she said it felt kinda weird, all that fabric wrappin’ around her. But she looked pretty in it, she did. Like a real Japanese lady. But she ended up buyin’ a regular dress, somethin’ more practical, she said. She has a good head on her shoulders, that one. She’s a smart girl.
So, there you have it, my two cents on them Japan-style dresses. They’re pretty, they’re fancy, they’re expensive, and they ain’t practical for everyday wear. But they’re part of them Japanese folks’ way of life, and that’s just fine by me. Everybody’s got their own way of doin’ things, and who am I to say what’s right and what’s wrong? As long as they’re happy, that’s all that matters. It all comes down to what makes you happy in the end. If you’re happy wearing that, that’s great! If you’re not that’s great too. So that’s about it for these Japan dresses.
