Low yardage on a large frame?

[Pleater]

Having made costumes in the past, I'd not be overly concerned about making a lower yardage kilt in larger sizes. If the fabric is a good heavy quality then it should be just fine, even if it means having pleat reveals a bit wider than those on a kilt for someone smaller, they will still be in proportion.

A lower yardage kilt in heavy quality fabric will always look better than a longer length made of lighter weight stuff.

I would advise that the length be slightly longer than for a smaller size, and that the kilt be worn at the natural waist with a rise of two or three inches, as that will be most flattering. That will not need more fabric, but it will give a better effect.
