I have washed my kilt several time as per Rocky's instructions and have hung it over the back of a chair to dry. The only problems I have is with the pleats not lying flat after drying. Ironing seems to get rid of the wrinkes but the pleats still show a lilt. I may try laying it flat on a towel this time. It's due to be washed after my Ireland trip where, I might add, it was a big hit.
