My besotted brain finally remembered what the gadgets are that I've been using to help my kilt pleats dry straight...they are tablecloth weights.

I only have four so have to buy more, but they work great. They have a clip to hang them from the hem of each pleat near the seam, and the weight is light enough it just gives direction without pulling things out of shape while the kilt is hang drying.

Here's a few sources, I'm sure there are others
