thanks everyone... your words of encouragement have her planning a few more... including an ankle length version (with aprons reversed) for her and my daughter... of course my daughter wants a pink one (she's 4..and wants EVERYTHING to be pink).. Even though this kilt fits like a glove... right now it's to hot to wear it... but that's ok... fall and winter are around the corner and it will be seeing a lot or wear time during the cooler months..
