Try Calculator NowFinding the right kimono size can be challenging, especially when purchasing online or as a beginner to Japanese traditional wear. Unlike Western clothing that uses standard sizes like S, M, L, kimonos are measured and constructed based on specific body proportions and traditional measurement systems.
At KimonoNote, we've created this calculator to demystify kimono sizing by translating your body measurements into the precise kimono dimensions you need. Our algorithm is based on traditional Japanese kimono tailoring principles combined with modern anthropometric data to ensure both authentic fit and comfort.
The three key measurements our calculator provides are:
Whether you're purchasing your first yukata for a summer festival, a formal furisode for coming-of-age ceremonies, or a high-quality komon for everyday wear, getting these measurements right is essential for both comfort and proper appearance. A well-fitted kimono should allow for graceful movement while maintaining its elegant silhouette.

Stand straight against a wall without shoes and measure from the top of your head to the floor. This determines the Mitake (身丈) - the length from shoulder to hem of your kimono.
Measure around the fullest part of your hips while standing normally. This measurement helps determine the Habamono (幅物) - the front and back panel widths that ensure proper wrapping and overlap.
Choose between casual (yukata, komon) or formal (furisode, tomesode, houmongi) styles. Formal kimono typically have slightly different proportions for proper drape.
Our calculator will provide four key measurements:
Provide these measurements to kimono sellers or use them when selecting standard sizes. Remember that traditional kimono are often adjusted during dressing with ohashori (fold at waist).
A properly fitted kimono should allow for about 20cm of extra length in the hem (to create the ohashori fold) and about 10-15cm of extra width in the hips for proper wrapping and movement.
