Testimonials from Lady Chrystel's customers

Thank you Chrystel for making this fantastic Kilt ; it reflects so many important things for me.

I had the fortune of being able to come and
pick it up at your place
and I'll never forget what I felt putting it on.
You will easily guess how proud I am to wear it,
along with my Blue Bonnet, also made by you.
I am already rejoicing at the thought of
picking up my next kilt order !
Kilties ! Do not hesitate to call on Lady Chrystel
for any of your projects.
They will be in good hands.

I've finally got a chance to sit down and post that I got the Package with my garments and I am absolutely floored by how excellent they all are.
I'm so very pleased with them.
I am sure you saw that Dana has posted the pictures.
I can't wait to order something from you again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !

You will never regret ordering a Double Box pleat from
Lady Chrystel.

The workmanship is very fine, easily the equal to my 8 yd hand sewn "made in Scotland" knife pleat.

I wore my Stephen-Mathieson Double Box pleat to a dance last weekend and was amazed at how it moved. One seamstress in the crowd said she couldn't take her eyes off it!

People who do first-quality work and who are a pleasure to work with should be recognized. In this day and age of endless lines, postponement, and shopping at gigantic, impersonal, multinational chain stores, the whole experience with you has been a pleasure. The only way it could be made better would be if I could have picked up the kilt at your home.
You can be assured that if I ever get to the French Alps, I will visit, and you can be sure that I will have this kilt strapped on my hips!
I cannot recommend M'Lady's handwork strongly enough. This is a FIRST CLASS, absolutely wonderful job. I am thrilled with it !
The communication process with the Lady was great. Shipping was smooth. Lady Chrystel was flexible with allowing me to pay her in several instalments. Construction is first-rate... I'm delighted !”

I have just received my Tweed Double Box Bunker from Lady Chrystel.
Let me just say it my new favourite thing in the whole world.

I ordered the tweed from KingCraig Fabrics; 22oz. tweed from Brora.
I then had it sent directly to Lady Chrystel who then worked her magic.

If you are thinking about a tweed kilt definitely think about Lady Chrystel.

Here's my new kilt, a splendid tartan Robertson red,
straight from the artist's hands of our friend Lady Chrystel !

It's absolutely maginficent, of which I am rightly proud.
The Double Box pleat is very pleasant, and moves in a very
elegant manner.

It wears beautifully.
Nothing compares to it !

It is my favourite kilt, and my 1st hand sewn. My wife loves the double box pleats and I get the impression that she wouldn't argue if I ever wanted to order another!
The fit is perfect and amazingly comfortable, much more than my off the rack kilts.

I think I also prefer the one buckle inside, one outside arrangement as well. Everything about this is top-notch, and I will definitely order another in the future.
I also have on a set of hose tops from Lady Chrystel as well and these are delightful. I am also very happy with them.
I must say, I received a lot of compliments the whole evening!
Thank You Chrystel and Robert !!!

Off to a perfect start when I set off from the house and a neighbour who regularly
sees me in kilts stopped me to comment that she thought this was a particularly nice kilt.

I can highly recommend Lady Chrystel's craftsmanship, she created an absolutely fabulous
kilt from the Weathered Hunting Cunningham woven by Lochcarron which I shipped to her in France.

Looking forward to seeing you wear her kilts when you come to Scotland.

The kilt arrived on Friday.
I must say, it was beautifully packaged and arrived without a single wrinkle.
I am absolutely blown away with it.
It is a marvelous piece of work and is everything and more that I hoped it would be.
Thank you so much for creating it and being so patient while I pulled together the finances.
It is stunning. Thank you very much again. I am in awe.

The double box pleating is a joy to wear. It’s light weight, and it still has the swish and swing that so many of us enjoy. Well this is my second kilt from Lady Chrystel, and it won't be my last! Her work is on par with any high-end kilt maker that I have seen or own.
Her stitches are tight and d@mn near invisible. The lines of the kilt are superb, ever when strapped around my ugly body. The fit is superb!

It has two belts, one inside the waistband on the left and one on the right in the standard manner, similar to the way that Matt does his belts. I like this arrangement a lot. Strapping the kilt on seems to be a little easier and also there is no hole in the waistband to hurt the strength of the construction. It is fully lined.The workmanship is second to none.

I own, or have seen and handled full blown traditionals and box pleated kilts from all the top kiltmakers. Lady Chrystel’s abilities will stand up to any of them. Barb, Wally, Matt, Kathy – watch out, there’s some new competition for the high-end kilt.

Any of you will not go wrong if you order one of Lady Crystel’s masterpieces.

The other thing that I ordered from her was a lace Jabot and Cuff set.
These too, are well made and easy to use.

I am a truly very pleased customer, and I don’t think this kilt will be the last that she makes for me.

Bottom line, if you want a quality kilt, and aren't set on a standard traditional, think about
one of Lady Chrystel's double boxes.
You won't regret it.

Thank you very much for this tweed kilt and waistcoat, very expertly made.

They fit me wonderfully and are very comfortable for strolling in the countryside.
I would recommend them to all outdoor kilt lovers for
Lady Chrystel's Double Box Tweed is really exceptional!

And I mean it!

I was so very keen to have one of her unique garment….

The tailoring is perfect; the fit is also perfect; I am truly delighted with it and I will now be getting my skates on to select the material for my second order from this talented lady.

Thank you Chrystel, and thank you Robert for inspiring me with the photos
you have posted of your kilts.

...what joy it was to unwrap my parcel and find this marvelous piece of art.

Your craftsmanship is gorgeous, and the finishing touches are exceptional,
as usual, may I say.

(…) my wife is already dreaming of a skirt in the same tartan...

Lady Chrystel, thank you for the excellent care of my Blue Bonnet and White Cockade.
These beautiful specimens. I am very happy and I hope to be able to bear them soon.

My daughter Dyonne gave me a pin of the Clan Walllace headed "Pro Libertate".
Still a nice feather of a pheasant and my project is complete.
For my next order I will definitely ask again.
Warm Regards.

I really like its shape and colour ...
it suits me perfectly

This beautiful Jacobite blue bonnet and it's white cockade were made to measure
for my husband a member of Na Fir Dileas by Lady Chrystel.

It is superb workmanship and will be worn with pride at many a commemoration.

...the only thing I needed to complete the outfit was a set of Jabot and cuffs;
these I got from Ancienne Alliance and his lovely wife the Lady Chrystel,
these are absolutely wonderful and
I am so very pleased to have them in my collection.
Thank you both again for the wonderful work;
I will treasure the set.
