Hello everyone! I apologize if my question has been answered, trying to read all the posts, but there are TONS!! My husband is Scottish and would love to have a kilt, but we don't really have the money to get an "official" kilt made from his family tartan. I have recently become a stay-at-home mom and am looking for activities to do - and thought that a kilt would be a good project!

My question is, my husband is a BIG guy - like 6'4" tall and about 350 lbs. He has a HUGE beer belly. I am wondering, when I am looking at things about measurement, am I supposed to be measuring his waist as where he wears his jeans, UNDER his belly, or at his belly button?? I have seen kilts worn both ways, and I don't want to screw it up or do all this work on it and have him look silly wearing it. I have read that I should pick a less expensive fabric to experiment on, so I will be sure to do that - but I was just wondering about the measurements!! Thank you for your help and any other information you could give me would be Great!! I think I will find lots of information on this website!!
