    Yeah, dude. Basting it is the "difficult" part of the job. Once you baste it, the pressing is -- as my teenagers say -- "dumb easy".

    I have the kilt. It came back pressed very nicely, exactly the way I intended it. I have photos I will share later. I'm very glad I basted it myself, however, as the cleaner insisted that I did it wrong because the pleats were all different depths and that she would prefer to remove the stitching and do it herself. :P
