Anyone knows?
The feilidh beag is the great kilt! You need 5 yards double width which you pleat up yourself and use a belt to keep it all together. Easy to do so long as you've got plenty space.

The feilidh-mor is the double-width "great kilt" (the name means "large wrap"). The feilidh-beag ("small wrap") is the later abbreviated version of the garment that was only 25" to 30" wide, but still untailored (though some do use the term to refer to the tailored kilt, as well).
