The one and only Barb T would really be the one to comment on this, I'll send her a PM and will have to see if she weighs in.

As I recall Barb noted that the third strap on a kilt is not needed save for highland dancers who can use the additional help in keeping the kilt from flaring up.

Also dance kilts tend to use the dress tartans that show up better to a judge sitting some 30-40 feet away. From that distance a tartan with more subtle colors variations (i.e. Black Watch) are just going to look dark.

I have never heard of a longer liner for "dance kilts". Would this be for modesty? Because Highland dancers and Scottish Country Dancers, like Highland Athletes in general always wear some sort of dark colored underwear for modesty' sake.

Cheers
