Hello everyone,

I have a question about my kilt that I recently got back from my kilt maker after having some alterations done to it.
I sent it away to have it taken out 4" at the waist. When it arrived back to me I noticed that the box pleat that precedes the under apron has shrunk in width from two setts to about one sett width, I suspect that my kilt maker has taken some tartan from that box pleat to create more knife pleats at the back to increase the waist size but I'm not quite sure. Is this a common practice when altering the size of kilts?
