Which traditional wedding dress is the heaviest/complicated to wear? I've seen chinese, western, and indian traditional wedding dresses. The Indian dress is by far the heaviest/complicated (my friend got married with a 7kg veil covering her head and body, not including heavy gold jewelleries). I wonder what other traditional wedding dresses are complicated to wear/heavy with ornaments? The Japanese kimono wedding dress seems complicated to me as well, but I have never seen it in person.

Where can I get a Kimono made? I'm American, but I've always been obsessed with Japan, ever since I was a child. And not the silly "They all still walk around in kimono" Japanese either, I'm interested by all parts of Japan, from traditional to modern, urban to rural. Plus, my boyfriend is part Japanese and calls me his little "wibu" (I know it's a derogatory term, just like how alot of Japanese use the word gaijin in a negative way, but between the two of us, it's an affectionate joke) We're planning to get married but because of his want to be proper, he hasn't proposed formally yet. In our planning, we've thought of lots of details (some quite cheap and others awfully costly) like having shamisen and koto players, as well as flute players and, if we can afford it and figure out how, even flying authentic geisha or maiko to perform at the reception. We're planning dress the wedding party in kimono, plus an uchikake to wear over my gown at the reception. Does anyone know where I can find some one to make these?

What is the length/waist/bust of a dress? I know what the waist and the bust is, but what is the length?

What is the significance of a red kimono? In Japanese traditional dress, a red underkimono is common, and I have on rare occasions seen women dressed in red (not geisha costume with lots of red, a relatively plain red kimono) Is there a signification to wearing that color (under or over), if so, what? I didn't mean an uchikake... I meant a non ceremonial kimono, yukata, or other form of female outer dress. I saw it in period (Tokugawa era) context, not in modern or bridal context.
Does anyone know where I can find a dress with a tie at the hem? I saw one on a girl in passing one day and it was really cute.

IT was a print with solid satin cuffs and hem, the hem of which was extended to create a tie around the knee area.
