Well, for a voluptuous full figured woman, a kilt may just the thing. For one thing, a kilt is sturdy and solid. Women's skirts to tend toward the flimsy side. With the right cut and tailoring, a kilt would do the same thing for a woman as it does for a man... Hold stuff in and accentuate the figure, making it more flattering by altering the silhouette in all of the right places. I may kick my self for saying this, but I know what a kilt does for me as a person of odd body size and shape... And how hard it is to find functional clothing that fits. I wouldn't deny anybody the chance to be comfortable and look good, and lets face it, womens' clothing has become, well, fixated on the very very thin. My wife is full figured... And she has one hell of a time finding clothing that not only fits her, but is also flattering to her. She does not want to wear hip huggers in a size 16 because she knows that just wouldn't look right. I'd really like to have a chance someday soon to maybe make something for her that would look nice. A kilt might be just the ticket.
