Darts on a stillwater standard

[yoippari]

I don't know if this is standard for kilts, stillwater's, or if it is a one time thing. The "darts" shown here are... odd. The one on the left side (right side of the picture) on the outer apron are darts at the bottom of the kilt, but at the top it is just a deep pleat with soft creases about 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" from the edge. This seems to make the pleat hang funny with a transition part way down. IS THIS NORMAL?

Probably on an unrelated note the bottom of the front apron seems to want to pull to the right. It pulls the left pleats out a bit and wants to stick to or grab the underapron further pulling the pleats around. I must note that while my measurement was 37 1/4" I ordered a 38" so that if nesassery I could have the it adjusted down, as adjusting up is a little more of a hassle. Because of this I can either wear it with just a belt or I can use the straps and buckles. But with using both the aprons simply bunch up underneath the belt buckle or the belt is too loose.

Oh ya. YAY my first kilt!

Another ohya: aren't standards supposed to be pleated to the sett This one seems "close" but often I see the same center line on three pleats in a row. And upon closer inspection those "soft creases" are all over the pleats.
