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

I want to thank you for the good service and the extra pair of black flashes. The kilt is of very good quality and good fit and I am very happy with it.
Thanks for everything.
