    Everything you posted was sort of my inclination, as well, but I wasn't 100% certain I was correct here, so I didn't insist the point beyond "this is what I've seen it defined as." But I certainly want to be correct in future before I start spouting off facts and definitions, hence why I asked. As you say, though, I would indeed find it rather strange that my band kilt, which likely may have only been worn by men before me, was a kilt until I strapped it on, at which point it would become a kilted skirt, until the day it is passed on to another man and gets to be a kilt again.

    (My dance kilt, at least you could say was made for a woman and could maybe argue something there if you really wanted to, but I'd still insist that it walks and quacks like a duck {looks/feels/moves/is made like any other full kilt}, and it shouldn't matter the wearer or the possibility of a slightly different cut at the waist {I'm not sure if the difference in fit for me between the two is because the dance kilt is indeed cut differently for a woman, or if it's just that the dance kilt fits and the band kilt is much too big and that's where its awkward fit comes in}.)
    Here's tae us - / Wha's like us - / Damn few - / And they're a' deid - /
    Mair's the pity!
