Front apron left pleat not laying flat

[Steve Ashton]

And one quick way of telling if the kilt is the right size is to measure the circumference of your body at the anatomical waist, and them again down at the widest part of your hips and butt.

When measuring your hips please remember that you do not pull the tape measure in at the front. You pull the tape outward just a bit to simulate the apron falling straight down from the front of the belly.


Then - The apron should be, at a minimum, 1/2 of the waist circumference. A little more than 1/2 is better.

And the rear of the kilt or pleated part at the hips - or where the bottom of the pleats are sewn down - should be, at a minimum 1/2 the hip circumference. A little more is better.

And the total of the apron at the waist + the pleated part, at the waist, should equal or be slightly more than the waist circumference.
And the total of the apron at the hips + the pleated part at the hips, should equal or be slightly more than the the hip circumference.
