Traditionally, the kimono should be the same length as your height. Due to the nature of vintage and antique kimono made for typical older generation japanese, 5'2" and under, the beautiful vintage/antique kimono are out of your height range if you are 5'5" and taller. If you find a rare 60-65 inch length kimono, you can wear it without the fold at the waist. Since the younger generation japanese are getting taller, this has become a trend for vintage and antique. You may also find, very difficult at best, newer used longer length. I find Ebay to be over priced, and if the price is good, the shipping is excessive on japanese goods. Tsumugi textiles are my favorite, rustic and a tactile pleasure to wear. Enjoy your kimono. The fun comes as you change your obi and obiage/obijime for different looks. Oh not to mention the added dimension of a haori over your kimono! What length are you inquiring about. Traditionally, the kimono should be the same length as your height.
