The kilt is done with a parallel row of buttons, a poplar style for these kilted suits. I'm bot sure why this button style was so popular. It may have been designed to show that the skirt was a kilt and not a girl's skirt. Of course actual Highland kilts did not have these buttons. Skirt is open at bottom, like a true skirt, there are no inner trousers. Skirt has 10 fancy brass buttons on pleats. Girls wore skirts in the 19th century. They did not wear skirts with the buttons done in this fashion. We note boys wearing refular skirts, but we do not notice girls wearing skirts detailed like the kilt-skirt here. An examination of the inside waistband provides some useful information about how the kilt-skirt buttoning arrangements showing how it was put on and supported.
