I purchased this for my Hatsumairi (Shinto shrine visit celebrating a baby's birth). I will only be wearing it for the Hatsumairi. I am under 150cm tall, but I was able to wear it, so how about it for those of you who are short? There are zippers on both the left and right sides hidden in the lace, and there are nursing openings. It is 87cm from the highest point of the shoulder, and 83cm from the ribbon in the back. (Measurements are approximate)
