It's true that the costumes are a little stylized, but they are still georgous!!! And the plot is worth watching for too.
The only things that are really off are the hair(it's too flat, it needs to be stiff and round) and the necklines are dramaticly plunging down the back--but this is the way the geisha wore them, it is breathtaking to see these kimono. To let you know, women tend to wear them closer to the back of the neck so most pictures you will see of kimono will show this instead. And last, they didn't wear fur, but one of the main characters is flamboyant and is shown to wear fur robes early on in the movie....
