You'll be a happy camper...EGA and all
Some measuring advice I got somewhere along the line, think from Kathy at Kathy's Kilts, was to put on my belt and then take the belt off and measure the length from buckle to the hole in the belt I use.
Years ago, in the cut and sew business myself, we made infants wear. We measured hundreds of babies of different ages to get a fix on about how big they were at different ages and weights...arm length, waist, height, leg length etc. Came up with some very good patterns.
Then we got a contract with Sears, and they sent us THEIR patterns, which had NOTHING to do with the reality of the actual size of babies...of course they insisted we cut and sew to their sizes rather than to reality...
With kilts, it was kinda depressing to find out that I was fatter than my pant size said I was...but motivating to work out too....
Only way to do kilts and have them work is by actual measurements of your own body. Be sure the length is long enough to cover the boys
