Re: Maxi Kilt?
Just be darn careful going up and down that staircase and no danger bending over to pick up that bag.
Likeable that soft grey crème white and brown tartan pattern - but one is not going out to play field hockey
or toss the caber - more of a semi-formal kilt sans the PC jacket etc.
So what is the Paul Harvey behind this find ?

"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

Going up stairs in a long skirt is usually much more tricky than going down (although a fall upwards is less dangerous than a fall downwards).r.m.anderson wrote:Just be darn careful going up and down that staircase..
There is no such thing as a normal person, only someone you don't know very well yet.

Re: Maxi Kilt?
You soon get used to lifting a long skirt out of the way on stairs. I also sometimes tuck hem into waistband when I need both hands.

Re: Maxi Kilt?
I second B&B's observation here. Stairs pretty much become "automatic" in a long skirt once you're fully used to them. It's when you don't get a chance to practise for some number of months that it becomes problematic again.
The only time I do anything as dramatic as tucking the hem into the waistband is when I'm using the loo.

Re: Maxi Kilt?
Would the braces be essential for such a skirt, particularly if it is made from traditional materials? Or is it just a fashion statement?
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

Re: Maxi Kilt?
It could be either case. I've thought of picking up a set of braces with mechanical clasps (as is the case with the chap in the picture) for a while to tame some of my more problematic heavy skirts. This'd have the advantage of transferring the mass from my waist/hip area to my shoulders in addition to keeping the skirt where it belongs (not having a large hip-flare things can sometimes get dicey).Sinned wrote:Would the braces be essential for such a skirt, particularly if it is made from traditional materials?

But it could just be a fashion-statement as well, and not really a bad one although I'd hide 'em under a waistcoat.

"hide 'em under a waistcoat"
Then they're not making much of a statement, wouldn't you say?

Well, given my penchant for waistcoats anyway, it wouldn't be much of a change save for the mechanics.Pdxfashionpioneer wrote:"hide 'em under a waistcoat"

Must be a kilted SKIRT.
I do not see any of the traditional kilt belt loops; (2?) belt closing or a fringe on the kilt apron right side.
The skirt is too long for a weighted kilt pin to be of use.
The front does have an apron (no pleats).
The closing fastening must be on the female (left) side and could be a belt closing; hidden or visible zipper closing.
Not positioned at the navel more at a medium waist (3-4 inches) below kilt (navel) waist.
The kilted skirt flares out nicely at the hips and proportionately to the hem.
