Alright, this came up on another thread, so let me quote:

Shay:
There's no such thing as a woman's regimental kilt. Going regimental means going without undergarments, and a kilt is a man's garment. (That being said, I wear men's kilt's myself, but I refer to them as such, like when I wear men's jeans or shirts)
UmAnOnion
On that subject Shay, my best friends (female) wants me to make her a kilt as well and we got into a long discussion of should it be a longer one like a womans skirt (something she would NEVER wear - unless on stage for a performance - suffice it to say she isnt the lacey frilly type - not that all women are but you know what i mean...) or a man styled kilt - with the upper apron going from left to right.

have you ever run into any probs/negative reactions from wearing a man styled kilt???
Shay:
Occasionally someone will ask me why I call it a man's kilt if I'm the one wearing it, but to be honest most folks don't know the difference. I wouldn't wear one to a wedding or other formal occasion, though. There's slightly cheeky and then there's disrespectful.
While I certainly respect folks who tell me they would never wear anything that 'belongs' to the opposite sex, I have to wonder what you folks think in general of women wearing minikilts, kilt skirts, men's kilts, sporrans, etc?

I vaguely remember a discussion about this before, but try searching for 'women" and "kilts" in this forae and you'd be amazed at how much on a totally different topic you'd get!
