Better to be a little to long, than too short.Use a large beach towel and fold it the different lengths to see what it might feel and look like. I will have any future kilts made to the same measurements so hopefully I will stay at the same weight. I don't know what vendor you have picked but Rocky's customer service is second to none. Good luck.
In my not so humble opinion, nobody is ever that close. Half an inch difference is unnoticeable. Most kilts, even if made to measure or bespoke, will drop half in inch in the course of a day.
