Though lady's kilted skirts typically have 3 or 4 yards of cloth, there is no rule that says they cannot have more.

However, one odd thing that I do notice is that this kilt seems to close on the right hip, as a man's kilt, and not the left hip, which is more typical of a lady's kilt skirt.

With 6 yards of cloth, and a closure at the right, this is effectively a man's kilt! Not saying that your wife shouldn't wear it -- I'm sure it looks stunning on her. But if you want to wear it, as well, why not! :-)

Too bad it no longer fits. It looks like a good item, and one worth altering if she still wants to wear it.

If you decide to sell it, though, my advice would be to sell it as a kilt, not a skirt -- you'll get a higher price!
