Im very new to kilts and have read alot of stuff on kilts how to baste them and how to repress the pleats.

I have attempted to do a quick repress of my kilt once (although without basting) and this worked very well, it greatly improved the look and how the kilt sat, but its still not quite right.

The problem i am having is even before having to press, once i have all the pleats lined up and at what im sure is equal distances, it apeares that at the fell it looks like everything is shifted to the right. from the first half of the kilt, the pleats look pretty much straight from bottom to the first stitch but the further left you go, it looks as if the pleats are going at an angle, the stitching at the top of the pleat is out of line with the rest of the pelat going down.

This is a PV kilt that was bought from herritidge of scottland for £50. Its a very nice kilt and looks great apart from the pleats not sitting completetly flat ( a few waves and on the left side the pleats were not holding a straight line and coming out) the first attempt at pressing fixed this, but i noticed the original pressing on the pleats, the pleats were not the same size all the way along.

Since thee original pressed pleats are probably wrong, im having a hard time resetting the pleats are it just does not look right at the top (were the first stitch is) as it looks like its pulling to the right at the top.

im going to continue repressing tomorro, now that im messuring each pleat, as its looking much better.

once im more sure of how to completly redo pleats ill baste it first. its just the look up at the stitch just does not look right as the pleats going to the right past half way is throwing me off.

Is there anyone that would be able to do it for me so i atleast have a guide for when i have to redoo it. Because it looks like it was never done right in the first place it makes it harder to do myself. I know plenty of good kilt places but they only deal with hand made wool kilts.
