advice...
Some "food for thought": I know that you would like an inexpensive kilt, but let me caution you with a tale from my own past:
Many years ago when I joined a Civil War reenactment group, I rushed out and bought what I considered to be the "best" uniform and other pieces of "kit" I could find, and at the "cheapest" price. I soon discovered that I had made a big mistake. Instead of researching and spending a little more money to get the most accurate reproductions possible, which would allow me to do living history with the National Park Service and reenact with "hardcore" authentic reenactor types, I had just wasted a large amount of money on "farby" items (reenactor slang for inaccurate and incorrect), and consequently, I had to buy everything over again.
Now, I realise there is a difference between CW reenacting and kilt wearing. It is tempting to rush out and buy the cheapest thing available, but if I could do it all over again, waiting and buying the best (and spending as much money as you can afford to do so) will produce quality kit that will last a lifetime.
Just my two bob's worth...
Cheers, 
T.
