  • Our aboyne skirts have canvas-interfaced waistbands for structure, comfort, and durability.  Velcro closure with a snap closure mid-way down the slit to prevent gapping.  Skirts are made to measure based on the dancer’s waist circumference and waist-to knee length.

    Our plaidie’s are 36”x36”, but they can be made in other sizes and dimensions upon request.

  • Our petticoats are made with 100% cotton poplin, for breathability and durability.  Option of choosing a very basic petticoat (4 metre wide rectangle gathered onto an elastic waistband), or a two-tier petticoat for less bulk around the waist.

    Basic petticoat……………………….$45

    Two-tier petticoat……………………$55


  • Most circumference adjustments involve removing part of the waistband, removing part of the inner structure of the kilt, unpicking the 1st pleat and fringe edge of the outer apron, re-sewing the 1st pleat, re-shaping the apron, re-doing the tailor stitching of the canvas, splicing in new canvas / liner / waistband pieces as needed, moving the buckles as needed, and re-pressing the kilt.  This process takes several hours. 

    The pricing for circumference adjustments for traditional hand-sewn kilts is variable, and typically runs in the $80-$150 range.

  • Flying Shuttle Kiltmaking’s Signature Custom Kilties are made with a growth pleat and generous fold-backs at apron edges, so our kilties are as adjustable as traditional hand-sewn kilts. 

    Pricing for circumference adjustments for our Signature Custom Kilties typically ranges from $40-$90.

    Note that most other kilties are not made with growth pleats or generous apron fold-backs, limiting adjustability for growth. However, size reductions are usually possible.
