Ok Barb, when you say that a pleat should be between 3/4 to an inch in width are you talking just the under par of the pleat or the whole pleat? If you are talking about just the under pleat, how wide should the exposed bit be. I am asking thais as the first kilt i plan to attempt will be of plai material as tartan is very rare and expensive here in the land of oz, so if i spend about $40 on plain coloured material and make a mess of things I havent lost much. Got a price on tartan fabricm, its about $25 per metre.
Cheers Andrew
