I'm a High School student, but I've been interested in Highland Dress since I was young(er). I've been seriously considering putting my money towards a Kilt outfit, but I know I'll likely grow an inch or so before I'm done, though I doubt much more.

So, my question is: is it possible, or advisable, to have a kilt made slightly long to accomadate leg growth? For example, to the bottom of the kneecap instead of the top?

Or else is hemming the kilt a good idea? Would the pleats be obstructed?

Thanks in advance for your replies and assistance.
