I would abide stricktly to what your sensei says. It really does vary from dojo to dojo. My Sensei follows Hombu Dojos policies for Hakama use (women starting at 3rd kyu and men at shodan) so I waited until I was a black belt. It really should not be up to your judgement but what your sensei requires. So best of luck wearing that hakama, enjoy it!! ;-)
