    I think you look great!

    When I take photographs of my guys in their kilts, I drop down to one knee to adjust the camera perspective a bit lower. It seem to help with the pics.

    Kilt length looks good. But...I'm thinking your legs may be .5-1" too long. Perhaps shorting them would help things to look "spot on". ;) just kidding you know.

    Your kilt is perfect and you look good in it! You wear it the way you want to wear it; if others want to wear it 'too' long, that's their prerogative. If I had to error on the the side of caution, I'd go for too short as opposed to too long. And besides... ask most women, the more leg the better!

    It hits about 1/2" above my knee, but it's great for summer wear. I have a bit longer full 8 yard wool Douglas kilt that I plan on wearing, with hose, during the winter. I am slowly buidling up my acessories - sporrans, hose, hangers, belts, flashings, etc....

    Acquiring kilt accessories is a journey (never ending some would suggest). You have also done your wife a huge favour - now she won't be at a loss as to what to get you! You might want to try that line and see if it works for you.

    Yeah. Riiiiiight, Ms Kittie. You drop down on one knee and get low so as to get a "better photographic perspective".

    Uh huh. You betcha. muffled laughter is heard.....OK, not so muffled......

    Ts with kilts all the time. Typically tucked if with kilt hose and proper shoes. Untucked if I'm going super casual with bare legs, flip flops/rubber slippers.

    No really: we always tell people to put the camera on a tripod at waist height.

    That being said, I chortled, too.
