    I think it might be short because it has a hem.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    I would be willing to bet that you are right, and the actual measurement is closer to a 30" waist. Rather too late to message the location selling it at this point.

    Picture shows 2 pleats under the apron and strap buckles can move??
    Third look and I'm not so sure.. Hmm
    Poking around Lochcarron's sites and can find no size 2 or ladies kilts. 2 May be an old venture into a dead ladies pant sizing idea.

    Perhaps I will take a cue from @Nathan and buy it for the material to make a waistcoat.

    Without knowing the dimensions of the sporran we can't know whether it's adult or youth.

    Very nice fabric there, Hunting Stewart. What's odd is that it looks like a man's kilt in many ways. Do wemen's skirts have that much pleating?

    It has matching tartan flashes, a relatively recent thing, so we're not talking about a vintage thing.

    It would be interesting to see a closeup of the pleats.
