Ask a friend to take the numbers because you need to stand straight.
First, Measure Your Waist.
Find the natural waistline of your body. It should be level with your belly. Make sure you get a good measurement so your kilt fits well and doesn’t fall. This is usually measured at the waist level with the top of the hip bone. Take a deep breath and stand up straight. Don’t hold your breath.
Make sure you have someone help you with this measurement because you need to stand up straight with your feet together and your head up.
Please make sure that all of your measurements are in inches.
Measure How Big Your Seat Is
When you wear pants, measure your seat, the biggest part of your bottom or hips. Make sure your feet are together, and your pockets are empty. Put two fingers inside the tape to ensure it’s not too tight when you measure.
For all measures, you must stand straight with your feet together, face forward, and keep your head up. Make sure someone helps you.
Please make sure that all of your measurements are in inches.
Measure How Long The Skirt Is
Usually, the top of your hip bone should be level with your belly. This is where you should measure the length. Stand with your feet far enough apart to feel good. Most people wear their kilts so that they hit right above their knees.
Please make sure you get help when you measure again. Face forward and keep your head up. Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart.
Please make sure that all of your measurements are in inches.
Measure Your Height
Take off your shoes and stand against a wall on a hard surface (not carpet). This will help measure your height. From your knee to the top of your head, measure.
To make sure the kilt length measurement is correct, you need to know the total height.
Make sure you have someone help you with this measurement because you need to stand up straight with your feet together and your head up.
Please make sure that all of your measurements are in inches and feet.
Sett or Stripe (only on Traditional kilts, not Casual ones)
Usually, civilian kilt pleating is done in the Sett style, while military kilt pleating is done in the stripe style. But you can choose whichever style you like best.
Sett means that the whole pattern of the tartan is shown in the pleating. If the pattern is striped, there are vertical lines in the plaid pattern in the middle of each pleat.
