Re-sizing a Lochcarron Kilt...

[Nylo]

I like your "proven" idea.

You mentioned "drawing a sketch," or was this the pic you posted? If not I would like to see it.

Thanks,
Nylo

For 3 inches, I wouldn't bother to re-build the kilt. You can move the apron edge buckles and the underapron strap and easily have a kilt that fits and looks fine. I once moved buckles and straps 10.5" on a kilt, and it was remarkably un-obvious (and, yes, the person was a large person to begin with). Here's the post that describes it, with pics:

I never did draw a sketch, because no one asked me to in the older post. Basically, you move the buckles toward the center back of the kilt and the underapron strap toward the center of the underapron an equal amount. I'm in Egypt at the moment and can't do anything but describe this.

Ive inclosed a snap of, "drawing a sketch." If there isn't one no problem. I myself know nothing about tailoring, but my girl friend does but isn't familiar with kilts. I'm just trying to build enough information for her to do this.

Thank you,
Nylo

ps. I want to go to Egypt!

As I said, I never did one for the previous post, because no one asked.

No problem. With what you gave me and the pic Ill be showing all of it to my girlfriend. She'll probably figure it all out in two seconds. Thank you again for your input.
