    The difference in the proportions of the kilts and their wearers is interesting - notice that their belts are just about level - but everything else is different.

    Yes, and it illustrates something I've discovered in making kilts for both men and women. Many women need longer kilts than men do, even though they are not as tall. Different proportions from waist to knee. And these two kilt-wearers are even related to one another!!
