    Thank you, yes I understand now, still under construction but I have a larger pleat under the front apron. The x kilt seems to have an A shaped apron and I'm not sure this is the norm in kilts?

    Kilts do have shaped aprons, the more tailored ones have a sinuous edge, as that avoids the illusion of being narrower at the lower edge than the top.

    Kilt making can become rather addictive with ideas for different options occurring just as you are turning about to view the latest creation in a long mirror or finding a suitable length of material at a good price. I visit 'Scrapstores'- they save things from going to the tip, and that is why I have a room full of sewing stuff.
