It just looks wrong to me - perhaps it is a result of miss-measurement, but it seems strange to go ahead and make the kilt.

The white lines on the waist band are equal distances apart, and those in the pleats ought to be too.

Pleating to the set should result in as close a reproduction of the set as the measurements allow, with the pleats places within the sett so as to cause minimum inverted V's with the tapering. There might be some compromises but - that just doesn't look right to me as an example of pleating to the sett.

It is not unpleasant as a kilt, but - is the pattern correctly centred? When pleating to the sett usually the dominant band of the sett is placed at the centre back - to match the centre front.
