How to measure
- Bust: around the fullest part of your bust, tape level under your arms.
- Waist: around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button.
- Hip: feet together, around the widest part of your hips and seat.
Dresses: go by your bust and waist. Skirts and trews: go by your waist and hip. Between two sizes? Choose the larger.
Skirt lengths
| Length | Waist to hem | Hem lands at |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | 15–18 in | Upper thigh |
| Above knee | 19–21 in | Just above the knee |
| Knee / kilted | 22–26 in | On the knee |
| Midi | 28–33 in | Mid-calf |
| Hostess | 36–42 in | Ankle |
Kilts & kilted skirts
Every kilt is cut to your own measurements. All you need is a tape measure and a couple of minutes.

inches
- 1
Waist Required
Measure around your body at navel level, about 2 inches above your hip bone and higher than where your jeans sit. Keep the tape tight.
A kilt sits higher than trousers. Measuring too low is the most common mistake.
- 2
Fell Optional
The distance from your waist line (1) down to your hip line (3), roughly halfway to your seat.
Leave it blank if you're unsure; it isn't needed for most orders.
- 3
Hip / seat Optional
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat. Empty your pockets first.
Worth adding if your hips are much fuller than your waist.
- 4
Kilt length Required
Kneel upright on the floor. Put the end of the tape on the floor and measure straight up to your belly button.
This puts the hem on the middle of your knee, the traditional length. Kilts shouldn't be worn too long.
Custom length: shorter or longer?
Start from your kneeling measurement (step 4), then adjust:
| Where the hem lands | Length to choose |
|---|---|
| Above the knee | Kneeling measurement minus 2–3 in |
| Middle of the knee (traditional) | Your kneeling measurement |
| Just below the knee | Kneeling measurement plus 2 in |
No one to help you measure?
Measure a skirt or kilt you already own that fits well. Lay it flat and fasten it:
- Waist: measure straight across the top of the waistband and double it.
- Hip: measure straight across 7–8 inches below the waistband and double it.
- Length: measure from the top of the waistband down to the hem.
Good to know
- Between two sizes? Choose the larger one, or use custom measurements. The kilt fastens with buckled straps, so it adjusts by about an inch.
- Measure over thin clothing with empty pockets, standing tall and relaxed. A helper makes it easier, especially for the length.
- Outfits and accessories (shirts, hose, shoes, hats) use the standard sizes shown in their own menus.
- Not sure? Email your size or measurements to support@kiltnyc.com and we'll check them before we cut.
Girls
Girls' pieces are sized by age. Ages are a guide: go by height and chest first. Between sizes? Size up so there is room to grow, or choose Made to measure.
| Age size | Height in | Chest in | Waist in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2–3 years | 36–39 | 21–21½ | 20½ |
| 4–5 years | 40–44 | 22½–23 | 21 |
| 6–7 years | 45–49 | 24–25 | 22 |
| 8–9 years | 50–53 | 26–27 | 23 |
| 10–11 years | 54–57 | 28–29½ | 24 |
| 12–13 years | 58–62 | 30½–32 | 25 |

Questions before you order
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose my size?
Dresses, skirts and jackets: choose your usual US size, shown with its letter size, e.g. US 8 (M), and check it against the size chart. Kilts are cut to your measurements: your waist at the belly button and your kilt length, with hip and fell optional.
What measurements do you need?
Kilts need your waist (at the belly button) and kilt length; hip and fell are optional. Dresses need none if you choose a standard size; with Made to measure we ask for bust, waist, hip and height. The size guide shows how to take each one.
How long will my order take?
Every piece is made to order. Standard delivery takes 20–25 days from the day you order to the day it arrives, and the estimated delivery date is shown above the Add to cart button.
Can I add notes or special instructions?
Yes. Use the additional information box in the options. We will contact you if anything needs clarifying.
How do I find my family tartan?
Search your surname in the Tartan Finder. Many surnames are linked to a clan tartan, and we match septs too.
Is the picture exactly what I will get?
Photos of a chosen tartan show the real cloth on a model. Where we do not have one, the preview is a computer-generated image drawn from the tartan's thread count, so the colours are close but can vary slightly between screens and weaving batches.
Can I return my order?
Standard sizes can be returned unworn. Made-to-measure pieces are cut for you, so they cannot be returned unless faulty. See our shipping and returns page for full details.
