You know, little girls learn how to do all this when they are about 5 years old...
Just throwing that out there...

But how many of them are wearing an 8 yard 16 oz tank?

Yes, Arlen, this has been pointed out before by String. 
What about little Scottish boys, eh?

For long airline flights and/or train rides I have found the USA PV kilt to work very well and also be very forgiving. I have heard others brag about the UK also, but I don't own a UK, so I wouldn't know.

Thanks, James. I have a UK and don't worry about the pleats on it. I guess that I was wondering about a more traditional style kilt. Good point about the USAK. I don't have their semi-trad, but maybe some day.

Well, String was talking about certain other skills, I think - though I'm still confused how one does those things "like a lady" in a port-a-loo with petticoats and acres of taffeta to contend with.
But that's another thread in some other forum.

Well, it is true.
Fair enough, they get the benefit of something a bit lighter, but I figure if a wee lassie can do it, I can too!

Doesn't look very graceful, but it is the method that I have tried too. Not sure if there is a better method, but climbing into my pickup truck this seems to be the easiest way to get things straightened out.
