TFCK "full length" kilt?

[Coinneach]

Hmm. No to the long kilt, no to the sweater, no to the shirt, no to the glasses, and no to the haircut (but probably only because I can't grow my own anymore). But what nice boots he's wearing.

In my experience, it seems even difficult for a woman to wear a long skirt well. Evening dresses, fine, but a long skirt is probablematic for some reason.

And just for the record, for me, no to the evening dress.

Not A Chance !!!!!!

In my hippy days I used to wear ankle length skirts, fairly wide at the hem but tapered to the waist - that way they can be cut from a fairly small piece of material by laying the pattern pieces / \ then \ /. I have ridden a BSA 650cc motorbike with sidecar when wearing one

The problem with making a long kilt is the double layer and discontinuity of the aprons - with a long skirt you can simply take hold and lift at one point and the entire hem will lift up. With a kilt style you need to manage two layers and under apron pleats - though perhaps it would be possible to make a sort of picking up strap attached to the back of the apron and threaded through eyelets to the innermost layer. Even then I can't see it being worn by anyone who did anything active - pacing along carpeted corridors or tiled cloisters would probably be OK, stepping out of taxis into a bar might get a bit exciting, but anything more vigorous and I'd say lose the kilt...

I have Thai trousers - the sort which wrap around but have open sides, and they have to be pulled up to ascend steps. Hakama, I find, have to be shorter than ankle length if not to be stepped on.

I have thought of making a long skirt with a kilt style panel of pleats at the back and three panels for the front, with single pleats at the edges of the centre front panel. I would use material too light for a kilt, 45 inches wide and perhaps 5 yards long. There are border prints which would do very well for the ladies - but I really don't see the long kilt as a garment for men.

would look good on a women maybe, a dominatrix? or heavy metal lass?

It's not a kilt... and it's laughably horrid! Sorry to be non-PC...!

I would say that it most definitely is a kilt (pleated garment with overlapping apron made by the designer as item of men's apparel) its just an unfashionably long one.

Not something I'd be interested in wearing, but live and let live.

It is what it is. It's just not a kilt.

It is certainly not my style. To me it is nothing but a long and uncomfortable skirt.

A full-length kilt is one that comes to the knees.

Longer than that, it starts to look ... wrong.
