Yessir. I measured about 2/16" of green outside the white stripes on both sides at the end of the sewn portion. At the bottom of the kilt, some of the pleats were very close to 1" of green! It is military box pleated, so it was pretty difficult getting the pleats to do what I wanted them to. After all was said and done, it looks marvelous however. I'm very happy with it.

Luckily for me, my step-dad was the photographer. My mom was nice enough to send a few pictures.
Hopefully the last one is ok for this site. If not, I do apologize.
