Nope, wouldn't work. The number of pleats that can be put across the back of the kilt is not infinite. Even if you wanted little bitty pleats (say 1/2" at the hips, which would admittedly look odd), and even if you were pretty good-sized (needing a kilt that's 22" across the back), that would be 44 pleats (yikes!!). Light weight tartan typically has setts no more than 6.5" across. 44 x 6.5 = 286, or 8 yards across the back of the kilt. Add another 2 yards for the apron and underapron, and you can see that 10 yards is about the max you cram into a kilt with 44 pleats. If you'd even want to.....
