Womens thigh bones are longer than mens if I rememeber correctly.
Think Billie kilt here. lucky you Xman (measuring her) ha ha
In all seriousness, I am interested to know the final measurements, and how to make the damn thing. I have a goal of making all sorts of types of kilts....tradational, dance, military, box etc.for a Saint Andrews Society exhibition and a billie kilt would be the icing on the cake.

I think it is the men's thigh bones that are often proportionally longer than women's in relation to the calf bones, but maybe I have it backwards. Don't know much about tailoring, but have a little bit of experience making ceramic sculptures of human figures.

I'm not an expert though!
