Happy New Year Xmarkers!

I'm preparing to make my first kilt and would like to have a few sets of eyes go over my numbers with me to ensure I'm on the right track. I had my wife, who is sewing challenged, help take my measurements accordsing to the method in TAoK. My waist measered 36", hips at 41", length 23", and the fell at 7.5". I took these measurements again with my oldewst daaghter who is learning to sew and came up with the same numbers except the length, which was 24". I've been taught to measure twice, cut once. In this case I'll likely measdure a couple more times before reducing my tartan to length. I have ordered and received my desired tartan which is in my profile picture. The mill says the set is approximately 20.3 cm, which converts to just under 8". I measured the set on the fabric received, from prominent red stripe to prominent red stripe, and it is 7 to 7.5" depending on where I measure the set at along the length of fabric. OK, now with all that out of the way... on to layout.
Following the guidance in TAoK I worked out the following splits: waist 19/17, hip 20/21. I started with an even split and worked up in the apron in .5" increments, while reducing the pleats the same amount. This one-inch difference in the apron doesn't allow for much shaping between the hip and waist. Then I read Barbara's tips and tricks and added .5" to the hip measurement which I then worked the split to 20.25/21.25. On to estimating pleat size.
With the set repeat from the mill and my own measurements I chose to use 7.5" for the repeat size. First, I estimated the number of pleats at either 29 or 27 pleats. 29 if I used my 7.5" set measurement and 27 pleats if I used the mills 8" measurement. This number of pleats is based on 6 yards of cloth available for pleating out of an 8-yard length of cloth. Regardless of which hip split I use my hip pleats will be close to .75" and my waist pleats at just over .5" using my 7.5" set repeat measurement.
Please look over my numbers and let me know if I'm on the right track. If I am, then I'll take the measurements again and start marking everything out on the tartan to verify the numbers.

measurements Waist Hip
Apron 19" 20"
Pleats 17" 21" or 21.25"
Pleat width .5"+ .75"-
29 pleats, "+" slightly more than, "-" slightly less than.


Thank you all
