Welcome from Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley!

Sounds like your first kilt is a hit! And you did the most important thing, which was to go to that vendor's site and see how they want your measurements...each vendor is diifferent, and it's important to see how they want you to measure as well as how/where they design their kilts to be worn.

It might feel odd at first to have your traditional kilt belted around your middle, but it will give you the best fit and is generally more flattering there, even with (well, especially with) a prominent belly. The sporran usually takes a bit of "figuring;" some prefer hangers that attach to the belt, some prefer the sep. sporran strap. Like others have said a plain strap is better for your kilt than the chain that pobably came with it.

Have fun perusing the photos gallery, when you are comfortable post a few of your own.

Welcome to the Rabble, and Kilt on!
