Yeah, I loved #3, but the others aren't screaming to me for you. With BJ on PPP.

3 was my favorite. I love vintage, but I have a vintage kimono, and everytime I wear it seams pop open and I fret. It's very delicate silk with a silk organza lining. I'm considering one of the zara ones for peace of mind.

Well ladies - this is where I eat crow!

As much as I love vintage, including vintage kimonos, I think they won't have a modern feel to them no matter how modern the rest of the styling is. I saw a couple last night in a local vintage shop and they unfortunately do resemble bath robes.

So I believe the newer incarnations at Zara are the better option (hey Denise - you were right!).

Now I just need to decide if I want to move forward and order one or pass on what I think could be a fleeting trend.

Thank you all so much for your honest and thoughtful replies.

Asos Marketplace has a retro tag and I've seen some kimonos under it. Take a look, maybe you find some true vintage that strikes you. Good luck!

Just read your reply on true vintage, Shannon... hehehe. So Zara it is then. They hv a model very similar to the #3 kimono you've posted, don't they?
