Moving the buckles-TAKE NOTE

[McElmurry]

If you are hopeful you will shrink (up to 4 inches) but do not want to delay ordering a kilt is it better if the kilt is pleated to the stripe and has no belt loops. That way the apron stripe can be centered and the back looks fine.

While this can be advantageous, I would likely defer to the sett first to be sure it will look good that way at all. It is best to order the kilt at your ideal weight when you reach it.

I am so glad that you all posted, I didn't want to be the first.

I don't have any special sewing skills. But I was taught to sew buttons on 51 years ago and I can put a new zip in a pair of Levi's using a hand-cranked Singer.

And I can change the buckles and straps on a kilt in 59 minutes. I find the process straightforward, rather than tricky. Maybe, I'm doing it wrong.
