The 'after' shape is much less A line, far more like a traditional kilt in having parallel sides. It should mature into an excellent garment.

Man, I dig it. Kits made of heavy wool can be fairly comfortable on cold days, but they suck on cold windy days as the fabric is a pretty poor wind breaker. I've often thought I'd like a winter kilt made in two layers like yours, something warm on the inside, and a wind breaking layer on the outside. I think if I were to weight the lower edge of a kilt, I'd use a long length of the heaviest bead chain, rather than individual weights like quarters, or fishing sinkers.
