Signature Custom Kilties
Our Signature Custom Kilties are pleated to the sett and machine sewn. Our kilties fasten with one waist buckle at the fringe edge of the outer apron, and Velcro on the inner apron. Kilties are appropriate for Pre-Premier competition use, performances, medal tests, and for general frolicking.
Our Signature Custom Kilties are special because they have:
proper apron shaping that is usually only seen in hand-sewn kilts, for a more custom and flattering fit
full depth pleats, and pleated to the sett
proper pleat tapering for an excellent fit around curves
canvas-interfaced waistbands for comfort and durability
generous foldbacks at both apron edges, for ease of future alterations
a growth pleat
In order to mitigate bulk at the back, the pleats are made wider than what we would typically see in traditional hand-sewn kilts. However, this allows us to provide excellent shaping for hips and bums without creating excess bulk around the waist.
Whether you are an adult who is starting Highland dance or coming back to it as a Pre-Premier, a kid who wants a better-fitting kiltie, or an adult who knows they shouldn’t be wearing their costly dance kilt in the beer tent (but you still wanna look cute), FSK’s Signature Custom Kilties are an affordable way to get a flattering, well-fitted, truly custom kiltie.
Most of our kilties use 3 to 6 metres of tartan (1.5 - 3 metres of double width tartan fabric). As with traditional hand-sewn kilts, the labour cost is directly linked to the yardage required.
Please see the Pricing tab for labour pricing relative to yardage and hip circumference.
