Congratulations on the weight-loss!
I started my efforts before COVID, but kept it going throughout, and between cutting carbs and sugar, and getting on track with running and weightlifting (which COVID made easier, since there wasn't much else I could do), I dropped 60 pounds.
My first thought for you was exactly what Jhockin suggested:http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...oo-much-59745/
I am not a sewer by any means, but Barb's guide walked me through re-tailoring a few of my kilts. I have been reluctant to do too many, but I have re-sized a few, and while it isn't always the prettiest job, no one has ever noticed that besides me.
My second thought comes from the re-sizing I did - if you are going to go that route, I would suggest starting with a kilt that isn't your favorite. Again, I am far from a professional, and perhaps that's why, but I had a number of course-corrections along the way, but since I was working with a kilt that wasn't one of my favorites, I didn't get *too* upset. When I finally got to working on a kilt that I cared about, I did notice that I was much tenser. Anyway, just my $0.02.
Good luck!
Rob
