Drape Waist - Full Kilt

The drape waist has just that!  An utterly stunning swathe of fabric cinches at your waist, then bellows and flows all the way to the floor.  The simplicity of this design allows the fabric woven by us to just say wow!  When worn as the kilt, this is the winner of any red carpet walk, not only for its style but it’s bad-ass planet and people love too.

Similar to our classic maxi and midi kilts the drape waist evolution has the same incredible use options.  Following the same multi-use concept, you have a full torso length shoulder cape and a gorgeous mid-calf dress.  By fastening the kilt strap over your bust you can own that look!  For the cape fasten the kilt strap, fold your waistband into a collar, pop over you head and get on that bad-ass mission!

All kilts are made to order, it fit’s better, so will be loved more and in time saves the planet and your purse…. 

Available in the four iconic Element colours and available in all three of our unique fabric qualities which have woven by us in our mill in Scotland.  We give you more, with access to the full range of options direct from our planet and people first design archives.  These are our bad-ass books of how to always wear your values and look amazing!  See full details below.
