I quite agree with others that this kilt could be worn higher and look good.

Second, I'd like to suggest that a more subdued shirt might be in order. to my eye, it quite overpowers the kilt. A black shirt would definitely work. I also find that black is a "slimming" color. A dark green shirt could also work.

Third, from your description of the "bulk" at the back of the kilt, it sounds as though the pleating under the canvas was not cut away. The solid black I bought a while back is like that... I find it uncomfortable so I'm going to attempt to fix it myself. Barb T's book is a goldmine of information on this stuff.
