How do we feel about kimono-style dresses on SDs?

I found a local shop that has beautiful vintage silky kimonos. Before I spend my money, how do we feel about this style of dress? It's silky and drapes nicely (it's not like an A-line flare), and you can tie the waist. Seems like it would be good for vertical and curve?

I know that long cardigans are often recommended for SDs, so I think this can also work? Do you recommend styling open, or tied at the waist?
