...about making a kilt. Ya gotta do it THIS way. The fell has to be THIS long and the fringe has to be like THAT and so on. If it's not JUST SO, then *ahem* "real kiltmakers" will look down on your non-traditional creation. Not so with kilt skirts, the "rules" are a lot looser.

Remember that most womens hips taper a LOT more than a mans do. A kilt skirt is amazingly inexpensive to purchase off of ebay. I die every time I look at the prices. You might just buy one for $20 and get it shipped home. Look it over with extreme care, and learn how it's made. Then get it dry cleaned. THEN make your skirt for your wife. She'll have two kilt skirts, and you'll know how they're made.
