    I have been making very limited numbers of UnderKilts for years now.

    Here is how I do them.

    Take a new t-shirt that has a chest measurement larger than your hip measurement.

    Cut if off just below the armpits.

    Sew a length of elastic to the now top opening. Just like the waistband on regular Jockey shorts.

    Pull the t-shirt on like a ladies slip.

    Don the Kilt. Voila. The UnderKilt!!!!

    I think I can make one in about 20 min. The length of a t-shirt is almost perfect. If it is a little long roll the waistband up once or twice till you get the length worked out and then re-stitch it.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    GREAT, a VERY PRACTICAL solution, IMHO.

    ...Or just sew the waistband FROM a pair of regular jockey shorts. I know I have a few that went into the rag pile where the band was still good...

    i was thinking away today and have just decided to buy a womens underskirt and cut it to length rather than go through the seamstress route .....its alot cheaper and fair easier to get hold of a waist size to suit me than mess about with needles and thread bonus with that its already going to be elasticated and you can buy colours to go with the kilt
