    Hello Sten, Good to see you on the forum again.

    What you have on the site is a Ladies Pleated Skirt.

    In the UK ladies sizes are given in two numbers.

    This is listed as size 12
    That is the equivalent to a US ladies size 10.

    Bust = 36.5", 92.5cm
    Waist = 28", 71cm
    Hip = 38.5", 98cm

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    And that tartan is usually only worn by women and dancers... most men don't wear tartan variations that have that much white in them.

    Also note that the apron closes right to left, backwards from how a kilt closes.

    Perhaps we need a sticky of how to identify a woman's garment from a man's. This is the 2nd or 3rd thread like this recently, I think.

    By the way, I'm glad to know that 'dress' tartans, or those with a lot of white, are mostly (or is it exclusively) worn by women. Until another thread earlier today, I did not know what.( I think the Wizard covered that)

    Angry

    Thank you for all the answers.

    Must say I’m a little embarrassed about this.
    But I learned something.

    Thank you all for the repay.

    Regards Sten Rune.

    You shouldn't be.
