    Hi Barb. I'll be starting the little kilt in the next couple days. I realized that I have another question. Do you have a rule of thumb for the rise for a child's kilt? I thought that 2 inches might be too much for the little guy. Any information you can share will be greatly appreciated.

    Yep - I agree. 2" is too much. I typically put only a 1" rise on a little kid's kilt. Their belts are narrower as well, so it's fine.
