Yes, I think that you are right, slightly more width around the hip and a bit less at the waist - it will make the fell flow into the free pleats more easily.
I find that a belt reduces my waist size slightly and so my meaurements are not right.
That is non rotating tartan by the look of it - was the fabric double width? If so did you have to hem half of it to get the tartan to match?
It doesn't look skimped at all - in fact it looks really smart, particularly with those hose.
