Thanks Barb! Yes, I've got a bunch of fabric to work with, and when I told the pipe major that the kilt might have 12+ yards of fabric he didn't bat an eye. The band kilts have a reveal that is 3/4" at the bottom of the fell, tapering to 1/2" at the waist.

Heath, this guy has been with the band off-and-on for many years. He hasn't played with them for a year or so, and in the interim gained a bunch of weight. I hope they don't turn around and ask me to re-build it in a few months (although I'd like to think he'll get rid of the weight some day) but it's a lot easier to take it down than to make it bigger!
