    My solution was to make my own, and when I shrank I down sized them - some have been done over four times now.

    I used to have an equator of 50 inches, and had to make the total circumference 56 inches - so some quite drastic alterations, thanks to Dr Atkins.

    I doubt I will ever get down to the 28 inch waist of my youth, but I hope to end up in the mid 30s, and still in the best of my kilts.

    I hand sew most of the work, a slow process, but I use techniques with a view to having to undo it at some point. Seams which will not need to be undone are made on the sewing machine,
