Am I shaped weird?

Its all about your body proportions.
Height: 5'10"
Waist: 36"
Drop: 23"
Rise: 2"
Overall Kilt Length: 25"

Mine comes to the top of my knee, and up to about an inch above my navel.

You might find that the apparent length of your kilts reduces should you lose any weight.

The first kilts I made were rather long, but recently I was looking at some photos and realised that over time they appeared to shrink.

I remade them several times, reducing the waist size, but did not alter the length, but there seems to be a definite difference.

I can only think that by reducing the central circumference the fabric had to go further around the curve of the waist, rather than just hanging straight down.

Probably true, however I'm a mere 160 lbs after a big meal, so I don't have an issue there.
