    I'm 5' 8" and I have a mini from Sport Kilt. I've been told it's not too short. Considering your girlfriend's age, I think a mini is probably just right for her. I'll try to dig up a picture of me in my "Loud" Macleod mini for you.

    Be well,

    Some easy basics. What your GF likes to wear. If she likes her skirts/dresses to mid thigh, that is what you want to get her. If it is at the knee, than that is the measure to go for. Also, if you do not know her size yet, it might be handy to check out one of her favourite skirts for size info. Also if she has colour preferences, that should be taken into consideration for her kilt. You really want this gift to be about her. If you can, you want this kilt to be her new favourite. Its colours should go with what she wears for blouses, hose, and accessories. If she is a purple loving lass, than purple should be the main colour in the tartan. Etc. Than it would be good to have a kilt for youself in the same tartan a few days later.

    My wife has two SK skirts- one mini and one full length. She likes the mini, but feels it's too revealing, especially since we do a lot of outdoors type stuff. She wants a hiking kilt, but we haven't had the money to get one- yet. However, she has one of the full length skirts and loves it. It looks great on her, and was worth the money we paid for it. So personally- as a guy who doesn't like seeing women in short skirts- I say go for either the hiking kilt or the full lenght skirt. They're really nicely made and you really can't go wrong with either.
