I wore mine to church for services last Christmas. Here's a picture from immediately afterwards, between the Liturgy and the Christmas meal:

That's me and my best friend, who is Romanian and wearing traditional Romanian folk clothes (before anyone berates me for any of the flaws in my outfit, let me say that this was before I discovered the wealth of information here at XMTS).
What comments I remember was a 90+ years old Russian women from the "old country" asked why I was wearing it, and the deacon, a Romanian immigrant (and, incidentally, my friend's father) seemed a bit perplexed at first, but then decided that it was tolerable.
I had been planning to wear it to church when our archbishop (NATHANIEL of Detroit) came to our twentieth anniversary, but my priest said (I quote verbatim), "Don't wear your kilt," to which our other priest quipped out, "Or we'll kill you." I was puzzled, but I complied.
The reason (unbeknownst to me until the next morning) was that the archbishop was going to tonsure me as a reader, and during that ceremony I bow down, forehead to floor, butt in the air.
