Sellers of ready-made kilts might do well to provide an optional card for novices, of how to don and adjust the kilt.
It is a wee bit difficult to conceive how someone (an adult) would actually choose to wear a kilt without having the slightest idea as to how it should look and also move when worn; especially the absence of basting stitches and pleats to the rear, both of which have a distinctly beneficial effect when it comes to the swish and sway. Surely they must have seen one beforehand otherwise how would they know about it? (I know, even Richard Branson got it wrong, but I suspect he was simply following directions of his publicity dept. who were no doubt following someone else's suggestions, without any idea themselves. Hope someone got a reprimand for that.)
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
