I have yet to meet the ethnic or historical pattern from Simplicity that has much bearing on reality.

Simplicity's patterns appear to be designed to pass the 20-foot rule - from more than 20 feet, the results might look OK. Closer than 20 feet and they look like stage costumes.

Not particularly well-designed costumes, either.

I have seen the Simplicity kilt pattern. Not to put too fine a point on it, they suck.

I'd recommend you save up $80+shipping and grab a Stillwater kilt (http://www.stillwaterkilts.com) and you'll be far, far happier with it.
