So they used pads? Ah, see, I didn't know that, I thought Kimonos were just really baggy and (not saying all asian women) but for most of them, asians are smaller in that area, so I just assumed it was because of the body, not that there was something else.
Oh no, they wouldn't have been baggy at all - it makes sense when you think about. Firstly, Kimonos were wrapped around a person, so they would probably tighten as much as the could, and the cut of the fabric is very squarish as well, so it would look unappealing to have "gaps" or sagging material. And also, a lot of kimonos were silk, and silk creases really easy, and if the material was baggy then creases would appear. And if your rich enough to own a silk kimono do you really want wrinkles in it?
