Here is a traditional kilt showing the Rise above the top strap.
And three kilts that fit the same person, (me) perfectly.
On the left is an actual Royal Regt. kilt. This kilt has a 3" Rise The top of the Fell Area is at the natural waist or just below the ribs.
The center kilt is my Tewksbury traditional kilt. This kilt has a 2" Rise and the top strap also cinches into the natural waist.
On the Right is what is called a Mid-Rise kilt although that is actually an incorrect term when it comes to kilts.
This kilt has only a 1" Rise above the top strap.
You can see that these three kilts are very different in total length.
The bottom of the Fell Area is exactly the same and the hem of all three come to the top of the Knee Cap. So the pleated area are the same on all three.
Other than the difference in the Rise above the top strap the difference between the three is the length of the Fell Area.
