Th apron and fell are often pleated to create a definite feature of the sett in the centre front and back, so that if the waist is narrowed or enlarged that feature, or sometimes pair of features moves off centre.
Once you see it it can really stand out - a pair of stripes or bands, a particularly vivid band, if not centred makes the whole garment look lopsided.
