Wearing Yukata hastily before you leave contributes to make it come loose easily. Practice how to wear it in advance and take time for one hour at least. You can of course dress Yukata in 30 minutes when you get used to.
When you do your hair
If you fix your hair by yourself, do it before wearing Yukata. After wearing, Yukata comes undone or spoiled easily.
Check Yukata beforehand
Put the Yukata on a hanger a day ahead and check if it gets wrinkled. Iron the wrinkeles.
Do not forget to check the items needed to dress Yukata. It is convenient to use a full-length mirror.

Since it is not very comfortable to fasten with inelastic Koshihimo, we do not advise this technique.
