Help for a kilted skirt for a bigger woman

[Lady Grey]

Oohhh…. My kind of question!

A) Get her a Kilt.
End of story - forget about terms like ‘ladies kilted skirt’ ‘pleated tartan skirt’ etc etc (except’Hostess’ that’s floor length)
So closes on the right and all the other things usually found in a Kilt that you wear.

B) What is important is length.
Is she over 5’6”? - then she will look ok in any length
On the short side? Then knee or just above the knee looks better
BUT length can depend on footwear as well.
If she’s a boots/Doc Marten kinda girl I think a shorter length is better.
If she’s a flats, court shoe kinda girl then mid calf is nicer
But that depends on her height as well.

C) Things that can be changed
Rise- the traditional 2-3inch rise isn’t terribly comfortable for women
I have 1 kilt with a 1 inch rise, all the rest have no rise but do sit at my waist.
Belt loops- she may not need or want them.
Number of buckles- often we women don’t tuck our tops in… and you get funny bumps sticking out if the buckle and strap are in traditional positions.

Tops.
That’s important to the overall look and length that she chooses.
I’m busty like her, I look shocking in traditional button up shirts with a kilt.
But a singlet top and cropped jacket looks great, I also wear loose dressy T-shirts,
(Gasp… I even add shoulder pads to balance things out)
But I’m tall and wear my kilts long generally.
Or a mini kilt with leggings underneath

So there you go
Confused??
