What are the sleeves of a Kimono like?

Question:


I have heard they are "detached underneath" but I didn't really understand what that meant...

Answer:


The sleeves on women's kimono are not attached to the side of the kimono all the way down the length of the sleeve. They're attached at the shoulder and most of the way around the arm hole, but otherwise they swing free. Men's kimono, on the other hand, are completely attached to the side of the kimono except for an inch or two at the very bottom that stays loose.
