With the lower yardage you have to compromise on the number of pleats or the depth of them, as I am finding out on my latest projects, with less fabric there are fewer opportunities to achieve different pleating styles, but there should be a good kilt in there somewhere as long as ambition doesn't overcome good sense.

Smaller sizes would give more freedom, but unless one is truly skinny-malinky you can't get both numerous and deep pleats from 5 yards of fabric
