I'm not saying you SHOULD do either, but I will re-state what I said earlier.
Prom isn't about the guy.

Many girls dream their whole lives about prom and wedding (my wife wasn't one of those, T/G). You can try to sway her and might succeed, but a bitter prom date makes for a lousy night.

If she's the kind of person who HATES the kilt, and you want to have fun at the prom, you may have to leave it (or her, your choice) behind.

I don't know your girlfriend, she may be totally cool if you explain how important wearing the kilt is to you, that it's a cultural item, etc. LOTS of girls won't be cool about it if it doesn't fit into "what they have in mind". 'Alt' girls will probably be cooler about the kilt as it's less conventional.

I said what I said with an attempt at humour, but you may find that what I said is true, and not all that funny.

Simply remember this one sentence and everything will be fine.
Prom ISN'T about the guy.
