Lardbelly, or "the tale of the tail" and Barb's fine book
Finally in preparing to begin, I measured. OH..the horrors! I find a 46 waist at the navel, a 44 at the level of the lower waist at or near the belt and a 46 Gluteous Maximus that is mostly in the rear with considerable emphasis upon the maximus. I ...obviously...want to wear my kilt high. Too, I would like a broad apron, box pleats and narrow pleats...lots of them. Question is, with such concerns, how best to convert these wishes to the measures for Appendix "B". Any of you ever made such a kilt for the ample dunlop and all to ample rear? I am thinking of a solid tweed for a first approach, but would GREATLY appreciate some help from one experienced as it seems that the dunlop is a frequent problem with the front apron, while the pronounced rear often means a less than optimal flow in the back. I do LOVE the look of the narrow box pleats and the solid tweeds.
