I know lots of dancers do this, but I have to say that you can spot a dancer wearing suspenders under a dance vest from a mile away. The suspenders invariably pull of the front of the kilt so that it "pooches" and doesn't lie flat across the front (kind of like farmer john pants). I would take the trouble to hem a dancer's kilt so that it looks better on, even if it's only for a few competitions. It's just not that big a job to hem a kilt.
