I actually wrote an X-Skirt manual, once, but it kind of died on the vine for lack of interest. This is in comparison to the X-Kilt which is a stupid-silly success story.

But the answer is yes.

New Link for downloading the X-Kilt manual as of 2/14/2011:

http://cmgm.stanford.edu/~ahebert/Xk...t2ndedRevK.pdf

This is the second edition, which includes Tartan Hikers construction notes and sydnie's Reverse Kinguisse X-Kilt instructions, as well as a revised description of the part in the first edition that confused more people than all the rest of the manual put-together....the over-apron strip..
