its how you define a "kilt" basically must peoples (the man in the street) perception of a "kilt" is a garment with a pattern "Tartan" pleated at the rear and worn by scotsman. As we know a "great kilt" strictly speakning does not have pleats sewn into it, buts its obviously a "kilt", so the word "kilted" must mean "wearing a kilt" so "kilted skirt" means a skirt thats wearing a kilt ! so I suppose a "Kilt" is a mans garment that wraps around the waist, and a when worn by a lady it ceases to be a "kilt" and becomes a "tartan skirt", the ladies lacrosse teams dont wear "kilts" they wear "pleated skirts" - a lassie shouldnt wear a "kilt" except when pipeing or Highland dancing as part of a uniform . to do so would be like a man wearing a skirt!!
am I makeing sense?
