Problems with Cilt coming apart

[Pleater]

Mel - is that the kilt which has a smaller than the rest pleat in the centre back?

I think I'd already had most of a pint of the Swordfish brew and things are a little hazy but I think it was your kilt which was being described that night at the pub.

That rather rang alarm bells at the time, as it seemed strange that it would get past 'quality control' at a business when it would never have happened in a kilt I was making - being of the 'measure twice, count three times and fold once' school right from the first time I made an English smock.

I do wonder now - was there a miscalculation in the setting out of the pleats so that the kilt was a bodge job almost from its beginning?

Yes it was the kilt I was wearing and although I mentioned this pleat more than once, they never responded to the query. I don't know who their kiltmaker is but they need to get a proper one. No promised refund as of yet.
