This is my attempt at maiko wearing hikizuri/susohiki and darari obi. Hikizuri is a kimono that trails on the floor but outdoors the hem is lifted so that it doesn't get dirty. When the hem is lifted the front actually drapes differently and the juban underneath can be seen but I thought that would be hard to do with so few pixels so I merely lifted the hem evenly. Sorry about that!
The colors for hikizuri kimono and obi are chosen so that they might fit for january (https://aminoapps.com/c/japan/page/blog/kimono-colors/MXsk_u4L2g88Np8w1jMeNqbjpDr1g). And the pattern on the kimono was painted with shouchikubai (pine, bamboo, plum) in mind. I would have liked to do shippou (interlocking circles) on the obi but that would have required more pixels to look right. The darari obi is about 7 meters long in real life and the obi and this way of tying it is meant specifically for maiko.
Maiko have usually lots of kanzashi (hair decorations) so I tried to be liberal with them and I edited my usual shimada wig into a wareshinobu hairstyle with a round topknot. The collar for young maiko would be totally white but as they mature the amount of red at the back increases. The collar is pulled lower at the back for maiko and geiko than for normal people. The obi at the front shows a red obiage and red momi/mommi (I'm not quite sure how you write that) that maiko wear. She also has a large obidome (obi cord decoration) on her obijime (the cord). Obidome for maiko can be fairly large. Last but not least she's wearing high pokkuri/okobo to further protect the hem of her kimono.
Kimonos are a hobby of mine and a documentary on maiko and geiko was actually what started it many years ago. I hope I've gotten most of the details right! ^__^
