MacLean of Duart Weathered Children’s Kilt or Kilted Skirt 20W 20L

This kilt is brand-new, it was just ordered or manufactured the wrong size. It was supposed to be an adult size 30 waist 20 long. Oops. 

My recommendation for use as a children’s kilt is to cut it to length and hem it (or add a stop stitch). For a children’s kilted skirt it is pretty long, but might work out just right as-is. Either way, the adult size straps and buckles are pretty bulky for a child, but if you remove the bottom strap and buckle it should work and look pretty good. Especially for only $25!

Our Homespun Tartan is made from a 55/45 blend of polyester & wool, woven by hand on old-world looms. It looks very authentic to what would have been woven historically. The yarn is worsted, but not spun as tightly as modern machine-made tartan. The cloth is also not as tightly woven. Homespun tartan will pleat by hand easily, but will not develop a sharp edge. Small snags, pulls, holes and other assorted blemishes are common. Because it is hand woven, these flaws are a natural part of it’s character.
