I think I would modify to "A knee-length garment with deep pleats, similar to a skirt" etc. After all a kilt is not a skirt.

Dia Dhuit!
It would be better to say that all kilts are skirts but not all skirts are kilts!

Merriam-Webster:
kilt (noun) -
1: a knee-length pleated skirt usually of tartan worn by men in Scotland and by Scottish regiments in the British armies
2: a garment that resembles a Scottish kilt
Italics mine.
Does this definition satisfy? It was written by a descendent of Scots, after all (Webster being a sept of MacFarlane).

From "The Devil's Dictionary," by Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914), a book written for "enlightened souls who prefer dry wines to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit to humour, and clean English to slang."
KILT-a costume sometimes worn by Scotchmen in America and Americans in Scotland.
