Do you know I was thinking the very same thing.

So you need to raise the hem by say, 2 inches? Have you tried just moving the whole kilt upwards by that much? It would save a lot of trouble and not a little time , sweat and expense if you tried it. Now I am not saying that you will like the feel and look of it, but in the past and in some some cases the top of the kilt covered some of the ribs too.

Just following a line of thought.
