We’re two thirds of the way through a website for a business that specialises in Kilt Hire and wedding services. Today we were working on the Kilt mail-order form and it came to the surprisingly complex area of how you measure someone for a kilt.
Forget inside leg (obviously) and you can also forget waist size.
Three dimensions are required when measuring someone for a kilt.
1. The distance around your body two inches above your tummy button or navel or belly button (whichever you have).
2. The distance from 2 inches above your navel to the cut of your knee (where it gives).
3. The distance around your erm…. well your…. how can I say this.. well we decided on “seat”. Rather than any other euphemism.
We just hope site visitors will understand what we really mean and don’t go measuring themselves sitting on their Parker Knoll recliner.
The sites nearly live at www.wearitright.co.uk if you want to see the diagram we came up with to explain things politely.
