Kilts tend to "shrink" when hung up for a while.

You made my wife laugh out loud, she totally agrees with you as the same thing has happened to her formal evening gowns

Kilts were the best thing to happen for my weight management. If I gain a pound, I panic. LOL

Uh, oh. Be careful with what you share. It has been well documented that women who put on a few pounds have a much longer life expectancy than the men who mention it.

Welcome from New England. Christmas will be an adventure for you. Congratulations in advance.

Well done!

Yes a 16oz 8-yard kilt feels heavy when you hold it in the hands, but is very comfortable when worn on your person. I suppose it's how the weight is distributed and how it fits just right.

Yes looking forward to the pics!

Oh, the waiting! As of today, I make it 52 days to go!

As has been noted, an 8 yard kilt can be a tad heavy - my 22 ounce Mackenzie Seaforth might be an extreme example. But providing it fits well, you'll get used to the weight after a few wearings. Perhaps best not to wear it from arising to retiring the first time, however great the temptation!
