    Thanks!

    Dearest Anne the Pleater, thank you so much for your insights on the layout/ construction... this will be a big help as well.

    Are these belted / half plaids pleated to the sett or random? I find it a bit difficult to make it out from the images I have found on the interwebs...

    I see an awful lot of basting stitches in my future... remnants of white thread invading my workspace....

    This may have depended on the tartan and the tailor. As this military one form a private collection shows, they were loosely box-pleated to the same stripe as the kilt.
