I am assuming you do NOT plan to wear that cummberbun (aka "crumb catcher")...

I think it will look nice like others have said, but mine was a bit small. I was lucky enough to be at the uniform shop so I could try on several sizes. If you haven't already ordered it, you might consider a size or two larger then take it to a tailor for a fitting. WIth the extra size, they will be able to tailor it perfectly. I'm not sure, but it might help to have the tailor fit you while you wear your kilt.

When all done, please post some pictures. I'd love to see the finished product and outfit!
