I am undoubtedly a "large frame" person. My hip measurement is 56", fortunately down from a high of 60". And while I am planning and working to lose more weight, I will never be "small framed". That said, I have "4 yard" (I'm sure they are actually higher yardage) box pleat kilts, "5 yard" knife pleat kilts, "8 yard tanks" and one 8 yard double box pleat. While the 8 yarders surely have more "action", that's true at any frame size. I have it on good authority (my wife, who won't let me out of the house in a kilt if I don't look right) that the lower yardage kilts look just fine.
