Girls' Kilts

[Dixiecat]

There is no such thing as a girl's or a woman's kilt.

Sigh. A kilt is a kilt is a kilt no matter who wears it.

As a person of the female persuasion who's worn both a kilt and a kilted skirt I can wholeheartedly say that one is not like the other. Only a kilt swings and swirls like a kilt. A kilted skirt is a very sad imitation.

Unfortunately, when worn at the knee and constructed like a man's kilt it looks like the wearer really belongs in a pipe and drum band rather than smartly dressed

Excuse me? Using this argument, any person wearing a kilt (man or woman) constructed like a man's kilt will look like the wearer really belongs in a pipe and drum band rather than smartly dressed. And, seeing all the handsome kilted men on this forum, I know that this statement has to be false.

Anyway, just for the fun factor I would make a real kilt, but use light-weight tartan. But, why not choose a dance tartan? There's some very lovely dance tartans that your daughter might like.

It may be a wee bit O.T. but this is what I was talkin' about:

That pattern only has pleats at the side fronts. Looks good from the front, but not even close to a kilted skirt, let alone a kilt.
