Pleater, who wants dart on their kilt? ;-)
Ah - it's the child bearing hips we on the distaff side are blessed with - so to get the aprons right, nice and fitted, but accomodating so much alteration in shape sometimes a dart is necessary.

Otherwise it means the waistband is too loose or the top of the hips too tight, or maybe both.

It can be got around by decreasing the width of the aprons, as every pleat acts as a dart - or can do, shaping the fell. Extending the run of pleats further around means that there is more scope for shaping over the hip bones.
