I’ve not actually seen this pattern:

Wow - 5 to 7 yards for the kilt, at least 60 inches wide.

Having tried wearing a great kilt - though it was a fairly heavyweight fabric, I think I used under 5 yards of 54 inch width and it was too much indoors.

I would imagine that the amount, weight and width would depend upon the size of the person, and the intended use. I would agree that a Belted Plaid/ Great kilt isn’t the best choice for use indoors, especially if there are breakables anywhere below head level
