Heh, thanks Sydnie

Right, so the two-piece issue isn't a big deal then.

As for deepening the pleat, that would be the best idea then? Reworking the waistband is no problem, i've got the skills and the machines and whatnot. It's just, this client is very demanding, and he wants a good kilt, meaning the pleats have to hang the way they should.(He used to wear a kilt in school and in the army, and so he knows a bit about it.) When I moved the buckles, it threw off the pleats.

He suggested I narrow the aprons, but that would be almost 8 cm on each side, which is of course not how it should be. If I deepen the pleats next to the aprons, will that affect the fall of the pleats at all? (It's like rocket-science to me, you know. Seems different laws of physics are at work. For instance, had no idea how a garment so heavy can stay on a heavy belly. Turns out, kilt-wearers don't breathe much?)

Anyone else here who could help?
