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 | Click here for Step 2

Just wanted to let you know that the package arrived safely, and both myself and my fiancee were stunned when we opened it. The kilt pins are beautiful!!!
I know I've said it several times already, but thank you for your candor and diligence through all of this. When the big day comes (only 4 months away now), I'll be proud to wear the kilt pin and give the equally beautiful quaiches to my groomsmen. (And I've already shown one of the pins to my best man, and he was as impressed as I was, not to mention humbled when he learned he gets to keep it! :) )
