    Re: Kilt is too long

    I just hemmed one of my kilts a week and a half ago. I had went back and forth on whether to do it as some XMarks seemed to see it as sacrilegious. I finally said the heck with it and hemmed it. The kilt never fit better.

    As for hiking the kilt up, I tried it on this one for years, but it would always just slip down to settle where it was made to fit, more or less.

    Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

    ETA: Here is some more advice and tips on hemming.
