Waist: wrap the tape where I want the kilt to ride. I prefer at or just below the navel.
Hips: around the widest and protruding part of the haunches and I leave a bit of room for the twig and berry's.
Length: I like to show knee, so I use the ethod described on the UK web site where you kneeland measure with a rigid measureing device like a yard stick (I used a carpenters metal tape measure since it's what I had). This places the bottom edge ofthe kilt at the top of the knee. I prefer this height because if it were any longer it would tap and irritate my knees as I walked or move around.

Waist & hips I measure the same--The length I kneel on the floor,& with someone else help, measure from the floor to where you want the kilt to sit, this is usually on the navel or slightly above, depending on your personal taste. I like my kilts to sit a little above my navel. This feels right for me
