WOMEN’S KILT SIZING
Important Note for Women’s Kilts:
Our women’s kilts use the same sizing method as men’s kilts. Please refer to the men’s size chart above for accurate waist and length measurements.
Women may choose where they prefer the kilt to sit on the waist — higher or slightly lower — based on comfort and style. Simply place the measuring tape at that chosen position and measure the waist and length accordingly. The measurement process remains the same.
Selecting the correct waist position and preferred length will help ensure a comfortable and well-fitted kilt.
