My waist is still, after many decades still smaller than my hips, so that is not a problem if the kilt is of the proper fit to start with.

For those with slippage problems, I strongly recommend braces (suspenders to the Yanks) as a valid means of keeping the kilt at the proper length. I strongly recommend sewing on buttons for attachment, as clips can damage the fabric, over time.
It may well have been "Scotty" Thompson who introduced the description of the kilt being worn too long as "trollopy ,to the world, but it is an oft used description here in the Highlands for the same thing. As far as I know, we have always used that description, well for the last 69 years anyway!
