I realized I failed to mention that my plan is to pleat to the set. So out of 8 yards of fabric, allowing one yard for each apron and other considerations that leaves me 6 yards for the pleats. Pleating to a 7.5" set should allow for 29 pleats at just under .75" per pleat at the hip. I'm going through the math for the pleats so I know what to expect when I start laying out and marking the fabric. Hopefully once I layout the fabric and find the rear center stripe everything will line up.
