The yukatas for ladies are terrifying.

Summer festivals in Japan usually call for yukatas shaped like that. It's just part of the style.

I think this what you wanted it to look like am I right?

Longer in the back, shorter in the front, because what would FFXIV be like if the crotch wasn't accentuated?

Also if you wanna come off as just informative instead of a Know-it-all who sounds like they just want to correct someone, you might wanna remove the ":P" and the image.... cause it really seems like you are just making fun of me :/

I used the ":P" to keep my post light-hearted, so I didn't come off as being serious and correcting you sternly like it was a big deal. I'm sorry it came off that I was teasing you, though genuinely I didn't mean to poke fun or tease you, I just wanted to be informative without coming off haughtily. So, again, I apologize if my post came off as teasing you. I realize the information I was giving isn't super common, so I thought the ":P" would prevent me from coming off as "Omg you should know this *dramatic eye roll.*"

I meant in the real world. In the real world a man would generally not wear a yukata that short. Generally for something short men would just wear jinbei, and even then jinbeis traditionally end around the knee.
