As long as we're on the subject...
I've never really noticed, and I'm surfing up what pics I can find, do the kilts on female pipers always open on the right (male side)? Has anybody here ever seen, or do any of our female members have kilts expressly made for females? I know this is rather a semantic argument, since most of us think of kilts as an expressly male garment...however does the gender of the wearer necessarily change the gender of the garment? For instance: RuPaul-technically male, wearing a sequined gown...you wouldn't say that its a male sequined gown, you'd say he's a transvestite...but you wouldn't say that a female piper in band uniform is practicing a form of transvestitism. Just a thought excersise...thoughts? Comments? Beuhler?...Beuhler?

A band member would most likely be wearing a traditional or near traditional kilt, so it would be fitted and tailored to the proper measurements of the person. wearing it: hopefully at least. I have seen posts saying that they do open to the right and so on. Ask Barb T. for the best answer.
Um, ...

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
