You're probably correct. I never saw Edith Piaf's chest. ... ;D
I'll volunteer to do the shaving for him. ... 8)

Yeah I'd agree from my visit to India. Not a dress...

Yes, I've always understood that a kilt isn't supposed to be called a "skirt." But, to me, it's a matter of semantics... because, in its physical aspects, clearly a kilt *is* a skirt. The word "skirt" can clearly be provocative.

The kilt part IS essentially - a skirt.

Yes Scots would never call a kilt a skirt although for description purposes thats essentially what it is. A kilt is a mnaly thing.. skirt is essentially a feminine expression.
