How do traditional Geisha Girls dress?

Geishas wear beautiful expensive kimonos. Maikos (an apprentice geisha, virgin) wore white collars and Geikos wore red. Geisha always wear beautiful, high quality, expensive silk kimono, a white collared naga juban (under kimono), and a carefully selected obi. With zori shoes and tabi socks. Their kimono will always match the season, time of the year, and occasion in which they are to attend that day.


How do geishas get ready?

It can take a Geisha anywhere from two to six hours to be fully dressed. She will have her hair done by a professional. If she is a full geisha her hair will be pinned up and she wears a wig. She will carefully, skillfully apply her make-up. Then will begin to be dressed. She has a professional dresser attend to her, putting on all the under-layers of the kimono, the kimono, obi, tabi socks, and zori shoes. A full kimono outfit with kanzashi (hair accessories) and all can weigh sometimes up to 60 pounds.
