    But I thought the proper length was mid to top of the knee? Seems no one is complaining about these ladies wearing their kilts too short...
    "My beloved America, thank you for your children. If your children want to become soldiers I will train them. When they are hungry I will feed them. When they are thirsty I will give them water. When they fight for freedom I will lead them. When they are unsteady on the battlefield I will motivate them. If they die on the battlefield I will bury them. So help me God."

    What is there to complain about? These are kilted skirts and I'd say the length looks just about right on these lassies.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    MUCH better than too long, and Sir Somebody or other apparently referred to the modern horror of men wearing their kilts too long. I believe the word he chose was "trollopy". As in trollop. I always found it amusing, that too short may be fine but a kilt too long brought a mans moral upbringing into question.
