Belly considerations!!
Waist at navel is 44", measure at seat 45" (With a regular pants waist of 40 in between somewhere). I'm wondering how a good kiltmaker would deal with these measurement. With the technique in barbara book. The kilt would look pretty simple to (one inch difference from hips to waist in the pleat). But since I got a belly altough the measurement are about the same, most of this measure is on the front at the waist and at the back for the seat. So even if the kilt would look like a simple tube, in reality my body is pulling the seat at the back and the belly at the front making more like an S form from the side, and pulling on the apron. The only place I've seen dealing with this issue is freedom kilt. In his video for the seat measurement he suggest to draw an imaginary line from the fartest point of the belly down and measure the seat arount this. It look like a good idea to me, but I'm a newbee, so I would like to know what experienced kilt maker think about it?
