Wedding kilt -- is pleating to the sett more appropriate?

[The Wizard of BC]

A standard pleat reveal (The part you see) is between 3/4 inch and 7/8 inch. A 1 inch reveal is still not too bad.
Much over 1 inch and you start to look like a low yardage or cargo kilt pleat.

So let's do the math.

Just for ease let's assume a 1 inch pleat reveal.
With a 5.5 inch Sett pleated to the Stripe you would have - 5.5" - 1" = 4.5" / 2 = 2.25" depth of pleat.
If pleated to Sett you would have - 5.5" + 1" = 6.5" / 2 = 3.25" depth of pleat.

Both of these are a bit shallow but within the acceptable range.

If you narrow your pleat reveal to 3/4" you would have - 5.5" - .75" = 4.75" / 2 = 2.375" depth of pleat if pleated to Stripe.
And - 5.5" + .75" = 6.25" / 2 = 3.125" depth of pleat if pleated to Sett.

You are now well within the acceptable or normal range of pleat depth.
