I apologize if this has been asked before.

I was thinking about this last night. I believe regular fabric is 54". So my first question is:

How wide is woven kilt fabric?

Question two:

If an 8 yard kilt has a 24" drop, what happens to the other 30" of the fabric? (assuming fabric is 54" wide)

I understand that there is a little extra fabric used for the band at the top, and for the double fringe part, but it cant be that much.
