Women in Kilts?

[cloves]

I've asked a couple kiltmakers on the board here about kilts with a reverse apron (not just cause I'm female, but also because I'm a leftie) and both of them said they couldn't.

who makes a knee length kilted skirt? I've only seen the "too long" and "too short" variety offered.

I suspect that they don't want to bother. There are a lot of excellent small kiltmakers around that I'm sure would love to fill your order.

Well.. The kilted skirt ("Kilted Skirt in Worsted") from Kinloch Anderson which I posted a picture of comes off the peg in lengths from "mini" to "maxi" with "short", "regular", "over knee", "midi" and "mid calf" in between. My wife's short is more or less (well a little bit more) knee length. They are hemmed so you could make them a bit shorter. The fabrics and workmanship are really quite good. They all close, however, at the right and use velcro on the inner left like their men's Breacan (instead of straps).

UK actually did a run of left handed kilts a couple of years ago.

Interesting. It should be noted that UK is adamant about marketing its kilts as a man's garment, not a unisex one, and while of course they'll gladly sell one to anyone, they quite openly tell women that wearing a UK is "cross dressing."

They weren't marketed to women. Several left handed customers requested and left handed workman's and they tried it.
