Those are all valid and important reasons! May your journey be successful :-).One of my goals is to be able to fit into a yukata (cotton summer kimono) when I go to Japan next April with the family. I went in 2015 with just my husband and when we stayed at a traditional inn where they provide a yukata for you to wear to the hot spring bath, I couldn't even do up the largest male size properly - I had to wear a camisole underneath for decency. I don't mind having to ask for a larger size (Compared to the average Japanese, especially female, I am tall and the dimensions of kimono and yukata are proportional to height), but I aim to be able to wear it properly next time!
