    Look at the construction and see, if as Rocky says, you can reshape the aprons. Can you open the apron and deepen the pleats on the sides of the apron? This might work for a while and there is enough guidance in the different threads in the DYI section you should be able to do it.

    As an olde guy getting fatter I've sold off my kilts that don't fit and used the proceeds to buy kilts that do.

    I just don't have the heart to leave them hanging around the closets unworn. Kilts need to be out and about with pleats swinging happily.

    If I can lose weight then I'll sell off my fat kilts and buy smaller ones.

    If a kilt can't be altered to fit I'm of the opinion it should be passed on.

    Which reminds me, I need to go measure up some more Utilikilts to sell, though that market, in my weird body size, seems to have dried up.
