Orders flood in from across the world for Glasgow designer’s baby sized kilts

Anyone who has ever worn a kilt will know they can be pretty difficult to put on.

But clothes designer Libby Young is pioneering a new craze, after cracking how to keep Scotland’s national dress attached to newborns.

Her range of baby kilts come attached to Babygros via discrete Velcro fastenings.

It means mums can put their little ones in kilts without them slipping off.

Now orders for the mini outfits are flooding in from all over the world.

Libby, 34, who quit her job as a lawyer to start the Bare Knees Kilts company, said the feedback had been fantastic.

“It wasn’t my plan at all to end up as a kilt maker, but I love it,” she said.

The Glasgow-based mum of Struan, eight, Angus, six, and Fergus, four, takes two hours to make each kilt-cum-Babygro, which range in price from £50-65.

One delighted customer is three-month-old Austin Sherlock. Austin’s dad Mark, 32 (below), a site engineer from Robroyston, Glasgow, said: “You’re never too young to wear the kilt.”
