    Sportkilt uses a similar design and I'm always trying to pull the apron over more to cover that. It adds to the feeling of smallness of the apron and gives it more a flounce than a swish, (ha, I know some technical words).

    Anyway, it's cool that you're asking question on how to make it better, not that I am THE authority. Wait for Hamish.

    BTW, t-shirt logo is pretty cool, looks Japanese.
    Alas, I am no authority when it comes to kilt construction - I wish I were. I find pleat curl, perhaps not what we are thinking of here, intensly annoying, with sticky-out pleats running a close second! If I knew the answers, the problems would not exist!

    To me, who has wonderful Utilikilts and Amerikilts (which Alt.Kilts most closely resemble) in The Kollection, I think this lady is wasting her time. Personally, I would not patronise her - especially if she cannot be bothered to present her creations in a neat and attractive condition! Actually, on a second viewing of her site, I do not think I care for the look of her kilts anyway.
