My two complains are that if I move around a lot, it gets moved around as well and that the extra weight sometimes puts a bit too much pressure on my lower back. I stitched in belt loops into one of my belted plaids and that helps everything stay put a lot more effectively but the look isn't as neat as when I hand-pleat it on the bed.
I wonder why it doesn't look as good. Do you just belt it and put it on, or do you belt it, pleat it, and then put it on?
