Hi

I pretty much agree with Jimmy with one exception. If a kilt is measured to fit precisely, the fringe of the apron edge will just cover the underapron. If the kilt is small by an inch, then an inch of the underapron will show. While the buckles and straps can be moved so that the kilt can be buckled, it will always look odd because the apron doesn't cover the underapron and it is _really_ noticeable. By contrast, if a kilt is slightly big and the buckles and straps are moved tighter, the apron edge covers a bit of the pleats, but it's not noticeable (particularly if the kilt is pleated to the stripe).

So, if it were me, I'd hold out until I'd actually tried the kilt on. If any of the underapron shows when it's buckled, I'd send it back and have them re-make it, because moving the buckles and straps won't solve the problem.

Cheers!
