About 6 or 7 months ago I bought a wool blend kilt from Mellville (Carse of Gowrie) before knowing enough to check the length. It has been worn a few times and I find it is about an inch or more too short to come to mid knee and have the waist height proper and comfortable. There is a hem that could be let out. My questions are these: Would it be advisable to re-hem the bottom? Is it possible to press out the crease from the original bottom hem with a regular steam iron and then press in the pleats at the bottom without damaging the fabric?

Any suggestions from your experiences would be valued.

Cheers! Bill
