Layering kimono

[Flock]

Nowadays women wear strips of cloth underneath the collar of their outer kimono to give an impression of an extra layer without the bulk and sweaty hassle.
Every now and again kimono for layering appear on ebay. they are genrally quite old and have a sombre colour, at least on the parts that will show, sometimes they will also have bright red shibori in the middle section.
Anyway, my question is, in layering kimono does one do two ohashori (ohashori = overblousing of excess fabric around the waist appearing just under the obi)? assuming we're layering 2 robes with a juban underneath. Wouldn't 2 ohashori be a total bother and make one look fat? would extra padding be used to balance out the fatness?
Or are these kimono sometimes made to a certain length so as not to have ohashori?
Thanks - Flock

Nice question, but I don't know the answer :'(I wanted to wear layered 2 kimono instead of a lined kimono, but I wasn't sure about ohashori/lenght. I guess these "under" kimono were shorter than normal kimono? If I made one for myself, I would make it shorter.

I think, the typical under layer today is a juban, and not a second kimono. When the hem of the kimono was allowed to trail on the floor, any number of layers could be worn without a fold at the waist. Now that today's kimono is worn with a fold (for women and children only), the juban has a shorter length, so there is really only one layer to fold under the obi.

If a juban is as long as the outer kimono, and you want to wear both, you could eliminate the fold altogether, but then you'll have to raise the hem so it doesn't drag on the ground when outdoors. Grasp the outers lapels and lift until the hem at the back clears your heels.
