Hello dearies! I have spent the past two days searching the internet for authentic Jaoanese affordable yukatas (and accessories) and haven't had much luck. finally I realized that there's no one better to ask than MAF! So I'm hoping that you can tell me shops and websites that sell affordable priced beautiful yukatas, obi sashes, geta, etc. Please help!! Thank you so much! :D

try DreamV, it's a gyaru store but it sells cute affordable yukata! Obi and stuff included.

Thank you!! You're amazing! This site is extra great because I love Gyaru things :3 I can't wait to go look, :D Thanks a ton!

what do you mean by "authentic"?

"authenic" and "afforable" normally don't get along..

I don't know any places to buy them except for the one kattoo already mentioned, however i do found some very inspirational pages from the latest Kera issue. I don't read japanese, but in between the japanese letters there are letters we can read and maybe it can help you in your search, or you can see if someone can help you with some translation.

Right click and open picture in new window or save them to your computer to see them in original size.

I suppose you're right about them not getting along. :D
Thank you!! That was very helpful. :)
I did find one that I love but I'm not sure how to order it. I've never shopped internationally and the website is in Japanese. can anyone explain to me how the process works and what I have to do?

it's different from site to site, so i can't really help you since you haven't told us where you'll buy your yukata. but use google translator, that's how I do it. just follow the steps. Basic steps are your name and address, your choice of shipping and payment details.
