Excuse me, could you please tell me how to correctly wear this yukata?

Romaji: Sumimasen, yukata no tadashii kikata o oshiete itadakemasu ka? / Reply Romaji: Hai, hidarimae ni naru yō ni haotte, obi de shimete kudasai.

はい、左前になるように羽織って、帯で締めてください。

はい、ひだりまえになるようにはおって、おびでしめてください。

Yes, please put it on so that the left side is over the right, and then tie it with the sash.

Hold up the yukata, look at it with a puzzled expression.

Do NOT wear the yukata with the right side over the left (右前 migimae). This style is traditionally reserved for deceased persons.
