Um, excuse me. I'm not quite sure how to wear the yukata... Could you help me?

Reply
はい、喜んで。お部屋に伺いましょうか?
はい、よろこんで。おへやにうかがいましょうか?
Yes, gladly. Shall I come to your room?
Gesture & etiquette
Slight bow, perhaps indicate the yukata.
Always wear underwear under a yukata, especially when outside your room. Ensure the left side is always over the right side (right over left is for corpses).
