There's a woman's tartan kilt skirt listed on ebay at a very low price that interests me as a source of fabric to practice kilt making. There's supposed to be three yards of cloth in the skirt, wool, made in Scotland, but of unknown weight.

Could I make a box pleat kilt to fit 42-inch hips of three yards, perhaps by adding on some solid colored fabric for the under apron, and maybe elsewhere to extend the length?

I'm inspired by this old thread: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...ed-kilt-18319/

The skirt measures 29-inches and was made for 46-inch hips.

I wouldn't have to make anything strictly traditional. I could see making a reverse Kingussie hiking kilt, or something just to knock around in.
