    I think it's great that she is interested!

    If she wants to wear a kilt by all means get her a kilt. If she prefers a Fraser, then a Sportkilt would be the easiest and cheapest option off the rack. The Men's Small is just the next notch up from the youth size. They could do a custom job for you as well. Or might sell you their poly blend fabric if you are handy with a sewing machine. That could be another project you and your daughter share?

    Next up in price and quality would be a USA kilt. I'm sure the folks there could build in some growing room. But not too much, you want her to enjoy the fit now.

    Enjoy,

    I've made my daughter 3 kilted skirts. The first she wore once and grew out of it within a week. I didn't put a growth pleat in it. The second and third are still being worn I made them 3 inches (3 pleats) too big with velcro closure. I'm going to start buying inexpensive wool pleated skirts from ebay and blind hemming them and moving buckles for her.

    Here is my 7 year old wearing a SK mini:


    We had the same trouble with her. She's big for her age, and seemed to be between the youth and women's sizes. With the velcro closure on this one, there's a good bit of adjusting that can be made. She loves it!
