Ladies- do you wear "male" kilts or kilts made specially for women?

I'm struggling with this question right now. I have several lengths of tartan that I'd like to make up for myself, but what to do? Have always had a definite pear shape, proportions do not change regardless of weight. So with the widest part of body below the fell, pleats are problematic. . . But so tempting. Rather than try such a drastic taper, I'm considering a bias-cut skirt yoke with pleats falling from that. It will be done up first in some "trade" tartan from the old Kirkbright remnants site, just to see how it looks. Right after I finish knitting hose for grandniece Ginger, who totally rocks her traditionally made Navy Edzell kilt!
