Respectfully, there's mini-kilts and there's mini-kilts. I think that I've seen several options for the length as I've scanned the 'net looking for kilts for my daughter...or even one for my dear wife if she feels so inclined (hint, hint...). USA Kilts has one illustrated on their website that seems appropriately sexy without going quite as far as the kilted bar-wench number shown above. Once that's established, you ought to be able to play with any number of looks...you could do a tank top, a turtleneck or a white shirt, necktie and vest...my daughter usually just wears a dark t-shirt and has about ten girl's jackets that are cutt an appropriate length for a kilt jacket...she finds them at Target and we've had to declare a moritorium on her buying any more of them...like I say, she's got plenty. I'm sure that you can figure something out...why's a woman asking a bunch of guys what to wear anyway?
Best

Thank you very much. You've been supremely helpful. If you'll notice, in my post I did ask for ladies' advice. I included "(or men)" just incase there was a gentleman like yourself who would have good advice.

From what I've seen at various games and they way they've been shown on web sites, you have a fairly open choice. Assuming you're not talking the micro-minis, you could dress them up or down as much as you want depending on the style of top. An nice white dressy blouse with a vest or a black tank top without one would be examples of both ends of the spectrum. Of course, colors would depend on the tartan you picked.

My husband said the only place I'd wear a micro-mini (10 inches) was around the house. So I'm going with just the mini, a very conservative 12".

OK, a more serious answer . . .
For men, there is a WIDE range of possible wearing, from t-shirts to tux levels.
For women, it is even greater.
The main thing is to coordinate with the tartan of the kilt (assuming IS a tartan).
DON'T wear a gray fleece pullover under a Prince Charlie jacket with burgundy hose and bright red flashes with a kilt with no red at all. (seen it in Hendersonville, NC-> Barclay took pics!)
With a touch of thought, it is not hard. A killt just takes the place of both pants and shorts (and for females, regular skirts). Dress as appropraite normally, with just the necessary alterations to "fit well" with the kilt. To me, shaping and avoiding sloveness is more important than length (THOUGH, those often go hand-in-hand, such as with jackets (with the focus on how the front fits around the sporran.
IF you want more specific advise, please provide more info and direction as to tastes, intent, and level of formality.
It is not too often women ask men for fashion advise . . .
As for under the kilt, that is for you and your man to figure out.
