    just my thoughts...

    I have to agree with The Supreme Canuck. One of the many reasons I want to wear a kilt is, for want of a better term, "gender equity". Therefore, if I want to wear what is essentially a man's skirt, who am I to question what a woman wants to wear?

    I also like TSC's suggestion of altering the way the kilt wraps around the body - it's subtle difference, but those who know will spot it. Another idea would be to get a solid coloured kilt, such as those offered by SWK...just because it might be a little less likely to be perceived as a male's garment.

    And, if you want the sporran, but are reluctant to wear it in the same fashion as it's "traditionally" worn by men, perhaps wear your sporran on your hip (as it was once worn in the 'old days')?

    When it comes down to it, it's your choice and I (for one) would support your right to have the freedom to choose what you wear and how you choose to wear it.

    cheers!
