Ring Bearer Outfits

A kilt in the wedding tartan, a plain white shirt, a small sporran, kilt hose with flashes and plain black shoes. A small waistcoat or jacket for a formal ceremony. Skip the kilt pin for young children, since a sharp pin at that height is worth avoiding.

Measurements. Age sizing is an average and children vary widely, so ordering to age is a guess that often fits nobody. Waist, hip and length from waist to the middle of the kneecap take two minutes with a tape and a second person.

The waist fastening has room built in to be let out, usually a couple of inches. Length cannot be added, which is the real limit. Order closer to the date rather than early, particularly for a child in a fast growing year.

In tartan yes, in formality usually a step down, since a full formal jacket on a small child looks stiff in photographs. Order with the rest of the party so everything comes from one weaving run and the shades match.

With a properly proportioned kilt, yes. The pieces to reconsider for a young child are the jacket and the kilt pin, since a stiff jacket restricts and a sharp pin at that height is worth avoiding.

For a year or two, since the waist fastening lets out but the length cannot be added. Many families keep the kilt regardless, and it often ends up worn by a younger sibling at the next wedding.
