    For a kilt to fit a girl, the fell must be tapered to the point where the sett is completely unrecognizable. That's why most female band members tend to look less than their best IMO.

    I like girls in girl clothes (as my daughter calls them), and a woman in a kilted skirt always looks smashing.

    I will now retire to my room and await the inevitable slings and arrows of the outraged who will accuse me of enslaving women or some such foolishness. Obviously I don't care what anyone wears, but for a woman to look her best--and believe me, I like for women to look their best--she should consider something other than a traditional kilt.
    I totally agree. A man's garment will always look unflattering on a woman because it isn't fitted around her curves, and all of that extra fabric makes a woman's waist disappear, and I don't know any women that want a thicker waist.
