At the risk of being banned from the forum, the shorter the better for women in kilts (woo-hoo!). Okay, I'll admit, any woman in any length of kilt looks good and I encourage it, even if it is a male-oriented garment. The long lengths (down to the ankle) look elegant and proper. Mid-thigh's are nice (please see my gallery of misc. pics). My wife is six years older than me, but won't wear hers out of the house {sigh...}. I like all the responses you've received and encourage you to once again don da kilt and join us in full force!
