Of course I'd like to lose weight but it wasn't factored into the construction of this kilt.

Do you mean lining the aprons all the way to the selvedge rather than just over the interfacing?

I definitely need to work on curving my apron edges. I've noticed on both of my attempts so far that the left apron edge curls under. I tried repressing my first apron edge in a different place to try to prevent the rolling under but it didn't help. The fabric from my first attempt wasn't wool and I had no real expectations about the final result. I mostly just wanted to see if it was feasible for me to undertake and spend the money on wool. I did have expectations about my second attempt and was optimistic until I removed the basting.

I suppose I'll get better with each attempt. I really thought the second one would be easier but that wasn't the case. I suppose I just got lucky and fumbled my way through the first. I'll definitely use an even split in my hip measurements on my next one. I'm thinking I should take my length measurement again. I'm thinking I'll make my waist measurement at the navel rather than an inch above so that my 2 inch rise won't be quite as high on my torso. I could probably stand to have the measurement from the bottom of the fell to the selvedge be an inch or so shorter as a few have already suggested.

Thank you for you advice Pleater. I'm in the process of learning.
