    Thank you all for your wishes and kind words.

    Lady Chrystel's Double Box is a 6 yards kilt.

    So it requires 3 yards of double width fabric. (approx. 55" to 60" wide)


    Best,

    Upon looking at the video you made, it looks like more material than there actually is, and the swish is eye-catching. Please tell Lady Chrystel that she does wonderful work.
