Yuki consists of Shoulder width (肩幅 Katahaba) and Sleeve width (袖幅 Sodehaba).
If your body is thin, Shoulder width should be narrow and Sleeve width should be wide.
And if your body is wide, Shoulder width should be wide and Sleeve width should be narrow.
But in any case, the total width Yukitake (裄丈) should be the same because it’s the length from neck bone to wrist bone.
This is how to check Yuki (= Shoulder width + Sleeve width) by a tape measure.
You could measure Yuki by this way theoretically,
but this way can be wrong because of the shape of your body, and the texture of your fabric.
So I would recommend to have some first cheep kimono or yukata before you tailor it,
so that you can think of how shorter or longer your Yuki should be.
Or you could check your long-sleeve shirt.

This customer wanted summer cotton kimono, and she tried hard to make it as watching the youtube manual. This is a really nice work :)

This customer is from overseas, and I'm glad people out of Japan are interested in Japanese culture :D

It's sewn beautifully and neatly. And the pattern of the fabric on Okumi part is plain though the color is the same, that's a cool choice!

It was very well sewn.
Whole coloring works well. Pale purple is cute.
The haori like a cardigan looks warm, and I want it!
Patters are matched on the collar, okumi and migoro perfectly!
I'm surprised you used the pattern so well.

It is a very nice work! And she applied long sleeve and Awase (two layers), that was really great.
Furthermore, she had a studio photo shoot.
Lace is put as Date Eri (Collar).
Pattern is a rose on the white plain background, and it's sweet and pretty :)

This overseas customer purchased the pattern for a child, and tailored it for the doll. I'm amazed she improved the quality like this, and am fascinated with the atmosphere. I like the Nagoya Obi belt, too!

This customer tailored it for his mother on the Mother's day. He made not only kimono but also Han-haba-obi (half width obi belt) and han-juban (half juban undergarment)! Totally the color is calm but the collar (han-eri) is vivid and it's an accent, that is nice.

This customer is from abroad. He often contacted me while making this kimono, and showed the process. He felt the most difficulty The collar, he said, was the most difficult part, because with a sewing machine, you would have to sew from the front and from the back. Beautiful finish and texture of the fabric! Maybe next time I can make it a little bigger. The obi pattern is cute too :)
