Hello all,

Plenty of instructions can be found on measuring oneself for a kilt, but it's not entirely clear how these measurements translate into the finished product. Is there a good definition sketch available that illustrates all of the main kilt terminology and dimensions?

The reason I ask is that I thought the drop was the same as the total length of the kilt. However, a recent post by Barb T. indicated otherwise, and it seems that the drop refers to the length of pleated material, not counting any waistband or similar that might appear at the top of the kilt. I checked on-line sources but could not find a definitive answer so thought I'd ask here.
