As an exotic beauty from the East, you will look like a sophisticated entertainer immersed in the tradition.

 

By tradition, the girls started their training at a very early age.  Some girls live in what they call a geisha house or okiya starting from birth it is believed that this was not a common practice for most girls.  More than likely if your mother was one then you as a girl would also grow up to be a geisha called a heiress.

A Geisha will wear a kimono. The kimono can be an elaborate or plain piece of apparel depending on the individual and the occasion. Around her waist she will wear an Obi. This is a sash that can also be very elaborate. It will will tied at the back in a creative shape and often defines the shape of the costume.

This geisha girl costume will include a fun headpiece and a teal and black kimono style top with dragon designs with an attached black obi.

Whether you will be performing on a stage or just watching from the audience, this pattern will sure be the show stopper for the party.

A maiko or a young girl who is training is called a minarai. But before she can start her training she must find a one-see who will act like an older sister who will be her mentor.  It is this older sister’s responsibility to bring this young girl into a full bloom geisha.  By doing this the young girl will gain insight of the job that she will have most of her life.

An Asian Costume is definitely one of the hottest Halloween costumes this season and now is your chance to get yours.

Apart form what she does, a Geisha also has a truly unique look. The most striking feature is her makeup. Young ones (or Maiko) will wear heavy white makeup all over the face. The lips will be heavily rouged to offset the pale face and create a striking look. The hairstyle is also unique. It is pulled back off the face in a bun like shape.

These are the key elements of a Geisha costume. As kimonos are quite popular, it would be easy to approximate a Geisha costume yourself, but you can also get fancy dress and genuine outfits to wear. They make for a unique and charming costume for Halloween that will get plenty of attention from fellow party goers because of the elegant and exotic look that you will achieve.
