Kimono - Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men, and children (wikipedia) are beautiful to look at. But honestly, it is a pain to wear (my personal opinion) and you will be surprised to know that majority of Japanese women (esp younger generation) do not know how to wear kimono properly.
Yet, it represents history and beauty of Japan and variety of kimonos and accessories are sold online just like other apparel. Price really varies depending on the brand and quality, just like other apparel. There are kimono that's under 100 USD or over 100,000 USD. The same is said for Obi (band) where you may be able to find under 100 USD and some may go over 100 grand.
Here is one type Houbongi with Tango Chirimen
66,100 JPY (about 670 USD)
Obi band
44,900 JPY (about 450 USD)
There are many kimono-like wear circulating on overseas, but if you are looking for real, authentic, Japanese kimono, the best way is to get it direct from Japan.
