あの、すみません、ゆかたのただしいきかたをおしえていただけますか？
Um, excuse me, could you please tell me the correct way to wear a yukata?

はい、左側が上になるように着るのが正しいです。
はい、ひだりがわがうえになるようにきるのがただしいです。
Yes, the correct way to wear it is with the left side over the right.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up the yukata or point to yourself.
Do not wear your yukata with the right side over the left, as this is how kimonos are worn for the deceased.
