Ladies Kilts

[Phil]

Women don't wear kilts and if they do they are made the same as men's kilts ( that is if they are proper kilts and not just skirts). As Barb says it is really only female Highland dancers and pipers that wear a kilt anything else you see will be a skirt.

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Women other than Highland dancers and pipe band members DO wear kilts, although there are those that do not approve of this. If it is a kilt, the pleats point towards the right (that is, if you are standing behind someone wearing a kilt, the edges of the pleats are on the right) and the apron edge (fringed or not) is on the right as well. If it is a skirt, pretty much anything goes, but traditionally, the apron opens on the left rather than the right. For symmetry's sake, I would think that if the apron opens on the left, the pleats should point to the left, but I have one skirt that goes the other way as well.

Be well,
