Traditionally made, handsewn kilts
A true kilt, handsewn in the Scottish tradition, is an exquistite example of craftsmanship and beauty. Thousands of tiny stitches hold the aprons, pleats, fringe and buckles perfectly to the wearer.
The finest worsted wool tartans are sourced for each kilt, to meet the style and aesthetic of the client.
Custom woven tartans are also available by client request.
Thistle Do Nicely Designs creates kilts for highland dancers, bagpipers, and those who want to display their Scottish culture with pride. Kilt pricing starts with a base cost of $350 USD for labor and non-tartan supplies, then adds on the cost of your selected tartan in the required length for your measurements.
The amount of tartan needed for a kilt depends on both the wearer's hip measurement and the size of the sett in the selected tartan. Approximate lengths are listed below, but are decided on by kiltmaker and client together.
6 yards
Hip measurement of 30" or less
7 yards
Hip measurement of 31"-35"
8 yards
Hip measurement of 36"-42"

Kilties
For pre-premier dancers, a kiltie can be a great option. With less material and machine-sewn pleats, the kiltie is an affordable entry-level garment suitable for both competition and performances.
Kilties feature one buckle, and an internal velcro closure for an adjustable fit to accommodate growth.
A wide variety of dress and non-dress tartans are available to suit the tastes of every dancer!
