I get a little confused when reading some of these posts, and I see on sites that sell kilts, that the kilt waist is directly at the navel. And that's where I have been measuring from. I'm a short guy, and 1-2 inches above my navel would be covering my rib cage. As a point of order, my drop is only 21.5 inches. I'm 5'7", too. I'm not sure if height makes a difference in this, but I see different answers from everyone, and then I see the kilt sizing info on several sites frequented by members of this forum; those sites always say - measure your waist at your navel and your drop is measured from that point, as well.

Can someone please clarify if there actually is a 'right' way to do it, if it is open to 'interpretation', or should I go by what I'm ordering?

I apologize if this is considered a thread-jack...if so please let me know, but if possible, a little would be greatly appreciated...
