I just received the Kilt package and am grateful and thankful for your help in making it possible to have in time for Christmas. I understand it has been a busy time for your store. I truly appreciate the amount of care you have given to my request. It is often a rarity. Everything is absolutely beautiful, without a doubt my husband will be pleased! If the Kilt or Jacket need an adjustment, I will be in touch. Thank you so much again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all.

Wrapping and Wearing the Great Kilt

Pleating with Lots of Floor Space

You will need enough space to spread the plaid in front of you. Do not worry too much about laying out the entire length (you can deal with that as you pleat), but do spread the full width. The fabric is pleated along its length.

Measure with your hands from hip bone to hip bone and transfer this measurement to the plaid. This is one of the two aprons and will not be pleated.

Starting from the end of the apron, pull the material towards you at the centre and adjust, at each end, the pleat you have formed.

The depth of this pleat is up to you. The wider you make the pleat, the less work you have to do at this stage. You could aim to form the pleat where each sett repeats itself.

Continue until you have pleated most of the material - leaving, unpleated, sufficient material to form the second apron.

In the next page we will show you how to set the belt under the plaid and belt up
