It seems a pity not to make use of such attractive patterns.

Will you have a significant strip of fabric from the centre of the pieces?

In the past, where I have had 60 inch wide fabric I have made the under apron from strips of that, carefully matched up, and so increased the amount of fabric for the pleats and apron.

I have also done a couple of kilts where I made the under apron from a dark toning fabric, from about two inches from the visible edge, when the length was rather skimpit.
