    Depends only on the image she wishes to project. No other rules apply, since "tradionally" the kilt is not a female garment. If she chooses to wear kilt apparel, she has already "broken all the rules" so how can any of the other rules apply?
    And having said that, I like the way girls look. Period. Full Stop.

    Of the far and few kilted ladies that were present at the Columbia SC Tartan Day, there were some differences between a mans and a ladies kilt that I observed in the modern dress style:

    Length: Ladies can be shorter than or slightly longer than a mans kilt but I have not seen a lady in a kilt that came only to above the knees.

    Design: Mens kilts wrap with the left hand apron over the right. Ladies kilts wrap with the right hand apron over the left.

    Footwear: The ladies that I observed were wearing boots or shoes with nylons.

    Kilt Pins: As the Lady likes.

    I realize that this is not much help, but perhaps others will chime in.
    I've found that most relationships work best when no one wears pants.

    Try this link to a .PDF file showing various Ladies looks.

    I don't think mens type hose would do unless in a pipe band where women wear the same uniform as the men.

    I think women can get away with whatever they are comfortable in. I'll agree again...no rules for this situation.
