Hemming a kilt

I could always mail it to you for your opinion.

The problem is that this sounds as if it may require more hem than the kilt could take. I'd say there is a half an inch which needs to be taken up at most, but I don't know if this is too little. It is a 24" length and the shortest I could go would be 23". 23 1/2 looks good.

Also, the person who shortened it hacked the bottom of the kilt.

You could probably actually take it up just 1/2", but that would be the bare minimum.

Just went to the eBay link you posted. Did they not really mention that the kilt had been hacked off at the bottom? And still charged you about $250?? Or did miss something?

It was for charity, Barb! Otherwise I would be screaming.

And I wouldn't have bid as highly.

Here is me in the kilt. Forgive the picture as I just took it to post on this thread. I hope it gives you an idea of how it looks on me.

This is me in a 23" long kilt for comparison. It is the same kilt I am wearing in my Avatar.
