There is no such thing as crossdressing because clothing is assigned as male or female by society. It is nothing but marketing and should be ignored. So what do you call a male putting on prosthetic breast forms and body shaping wear to appear female? When mimicking anime or fictional characters th...

I own quite a few kilts and they do look very smart but they aren’t as comfortable as wearing skirts bought from the women’s clothes section as the materials used for kilts are too rough and heavy for me. That's why I have been sewing my own kilts with lightweight cotton twill and chinos. And I mak...

I think you are brave using camouflage material to make a traditional kilt. I made my camouflage kilt in lockdown using the X-Kilt https://www.xmarksthescot.com/Xkilt2ndedRevK.pdf pattern and taking ideas from my StumpTown kilt. I am actually following the X-Kilt instructions. I just don't like vel...

Looks good except they are the usual 24inch drop which is too long for me. May as well wear an over the knee skirt. I wear them a good 2" above my belly button. It does look a bit odd so I usually leave my shirts tucked out. My own skirts/kilts I make them between 18 to 20" and compensate...

Sorry for the blunt language, but it a person's own reticence and fear that must be overcome, not a mere permission or instruction. It took me more than 40 years to realize as long as it doesn't harm or offend, I do not need to care what others think, especially with what I wear. That said, I think...

But I now know that the Pride of Scotland tartan they sell also looks good in person, so there is also that. He was wearing it casually with a T-shirt and shoes, and I think his hair might actually be longer than mine! I love the Pride of Scotland tartan but the one I got from Amazon was haphazardl...

So my next kilt is going to be a camouflage pattern, secured with nylon straps and buckle, giving a military theme. I have planned for 2" pleats with 3" under in reverse-K style. Here's what happened after I pleated the right side. IMG_20260102_141342_723.jpg I realized my cheap camouflage...

Well done you, I don't think i'd have the patience to sew in all of those pleats. It gets easier with practice. I now understand why kilts are a men thing. All the pleated skirts tutorials I watch online simply fold over the fabric and just wing the pleat and taper. Some even do it on the sewing ma...

He has had success with adding a fabric strap to the edge of the wrap then passing the strap through two D-rings sewn into a loop of material on the other side of the wrap. Like the strap on a motorcycle crash helmet. The strap goes through both D-rings first then is doubled back between the two ri...

What was your length of material to start with? I understand that a proper tartan kilt usually takes 5 or 8 yards of fabric, depending on the quality and cost of the kilt. I would imagine that some kilts get by with a lot less fabric. I bought a 1m (40") length of fabric, at the usual 1.5m (60...

Bought some fabric online for another purpose but when it arrived I found it so nice and soft that I had to make it into a kilt. There was only just enough length that I had to use it sideways (cutting the selvage at the sides) and didn't have enough for under-apron pleating. I'm experimenting with ...

I have a pot belly. My true waist measurement is larger than my hip! If I wear a dress, I'd look pregant. So this topic interests me much.

A sarong is a wrap skirt. Think of a kilt as a kind of wrap skirt, with an apron in the front, and pleats in the back. If this garment is not a real kilt, it is a genuine pseudo-kilt. :mrgreen: This was a cotton sarong, which is just a rectangle sheet joined to form a tube. I opened the tube, halve...

I have quite a few Sport Kilts and ordered them all with the side slash pockets. They're quite invisible to a casual glance, hold a lot, and are right where I'd expect pockets to be. I've had a few women comment that they didn't know kilts could have pockets when they see me pull out a phone or key...

Had a sarong with this cross-hatch print. Thought it would look great with two tone pleats and made a pseudo kilt out of it.
Sorry it's kinda hard to take a good photo of the back with just one mirror
