I've recently purchased three casual kilts from Burnett's and Struth, each to be made to the same measurements, yet each fits differently. Each of the kilts was basted differently, so I'm assuming three different makers worked on the kilts. Seems not all inches are quite the same.
One of my kilts is on it's way to Bonnie Heather, based on a good review of her alterations skills here, but I'm sure there are others. Over the years I've noted several kilt makers who specifically mention alterations and repairs on their web sites.
Thank you for all the replies. Really appreciate it.
I'm in Warrenton, VA (Northern Virginia). I'll update my profile with it.
Thanks,
Dan
Welcome to XMarks... My nephew used to live in Warrentown, now he lives in Marshall. It is a lovely area -- I have always appreciated the landscape of Northern Virginia.

I agree that it looks like the kilt is the right size but the buckles are not in the right place. So, this is a simple fix. Moving buckles and straps is an easy thing to do for anyone who is remotely handy with a needle. No need to ship your kilt off to a kiltmaker. Here are the instructions:
