Is it possible to breastfeed in a kimono/yukata? (Plus size)

Going to Japan in a few weeks with my little one who is still breastfed every 4-5 hours. She is 10 months old. I'm looking to hopefully rent a yukata (seeing as we are there in early june) but I am unsure of how breastfeeding works with a yukata. Since it will be warm I want to be able to feed her on the go. I saw one small website and an earlier thread here that says it works due to the hole in the armpit in most yukata/kimonos. I am also well endowed so I'm pretty sure that the rental may put the yukata. on in a way that flattens my chest and can make it impossible to breastfeed, so that the yukata will look right. So breastfeeding may be different for me in a yukata, but I have never worn one so I don't know how they put one on someone who is well endowed (US 36N for reference, I'm not plus size anywhere else except my chest)

If anyone has any answers on breastfeeding in a yukata while being well endowed I would be so happy. I really want to wear a yukata for more than just an hour or two before having to go back to the rental to take it off and feed my baby, but understand if this is impossible due to my dimensions.
