First kilt: resizing advice

[KennethSime]

It sounds like you've got the right idea. I did a picture tutorial of taking in a kilt in the Kilts & Culture group on Facebook awhile back: here's the link.

Also, the venerable Barb Tewksbury did a great tutorial here on XMarks.

Yes, you are thinking along the right lines...

One thing to note - move all straps an equal amount, so that the sett of the tartan on the front outer apron remains centralised.

Another solution is to replace the strap on the left inner apron with one long enough to pass all the way around your back, and exchange the strap on the right for a buckle. The second, lower, strap and buckle can be removed completely.

The new longer strap is passed through the slot on the left, around the back and fastened to the buckle on the right - this has the effect of drawing-in evenly both ends of the kilt at the same time by the same amount. This new strap will need to be mounted further forward, or away, from the left-hand edge of the inner apron as you have supposed.

Good luck..!
