The Nelson Mail at that time and on the About/Welcome page.

Tips on measuring
- Ensure that measurement around waist allows for clothing which will
be worn with kilt.
- Tape measure should move comfortably around the body.
- Length: means from the bottom of the waistband to
regulation length. This does not include the hem. A generous hem allowance
is made in addition to length. Please ensure that the kilt is within
the regulation length. The regulation length is 5cm
below the knee.
- If waist or length measurement falls outside of the 5cm sizing bracket,
your kilt will be made to the next 5cm sizing.
Procedure for Order
- Measure your daughter, paying careful attention to the following notes
and record the
measurements on the attached order form.
NOTE:
- Length means from bottom of waistband to the regulation length.
Regulation length
is 5cm below the knee. A kilt which is too short or too long will not
be acceptable. This measurement does not include the hem. A generous
hem allowance is made in addition to length.
- Waist – around the waist reasonably firm.
- Seat – this should be a comfortable measurement.
- Complete the other details on the order form.
