    Need opinion about kilt design.

    Good day to all.
    My new kilt, which I bought, has back part lower than front part (apron), it's about 3-5sm, it is new for me.
    Give me advice, please, how should I wear it?
    Keep calm, be the Person

    What type of kilt do you have, who made it, and can you post a picture?

    Sorry about SM, of course CM. It's my mistake.
    I have posted the photo, and preview thread shows it. Don't know where is it. ��. I will try to do it again.

    As Steve suggests, a photo will tell many things about the kilt as it drapes on your hips and waist. Please show a profile and back view as well as a frontal photo. You may be asked to photograph the interior of the kilt (laid out flat) to give us a look at the construction.
    The solution may be more simple than my instructions.

    I was able to see the photos just fine. Thank you. Just a guess on my part, the hip measurement of the kilt is larger than your actual frame. The waist looks to fit you fine. How does the apron land on your knees? (above, central or below the knee)

    The land of the apron is to the middle of the knee. And yes, the primary size was a little larger, so I remade it to my size.

    Nice job on the photos. I think the kilt looks quite a bit too large for you, despite your alteration. Also, you seem to be wearing it fairly low on your hips. You could try wearing it higher, but I don`t know if that would help much. I think what you need is a better fitting kilt.
