    Having fitted myself out with kilts during the time I was losing 12 inches off my waist, I could not come up with a slick way to make a kilt which was adjustable more than a couple of inches. I just had to take them apart and remake them smaller.

    If your change in size is regular, then probably having two sets of kilts, one suitable for the larger waist size and one for the smaller is going to be the most cost effective way to get around the problem.

    If the size change is seasonal then you could perhaps buy a kilt of good quality to suit the weather and your size at that time of year.

    The key to reducing my waist size was carbohydrate reduction in the diet. It seemed difficult at first, but after the shock of losing six inches in circumference very quickly it seemed well worth persevering.
