I'm in the position where I need to get some of my kilts resized. I'm sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but I wanted to ask the general kiltmaking public a couple a quick questions.

1. How much trouble is it to take-in a kilt? How much can a kilt be taken-in?
2. Does it alter the appearance in any way?
3. Can a regular seamstress do this or should I work with a kiltmaker?
2. How much do these alterations cosr?

I'm trying to hold off until I decide on my final weight and the kilts become essentially unwearable. I also want to know if it's worth the cost to alter the kilts or do I add to the clearance sale. I'm trying to thin the herd you might say.

Thanks.
