Pleating to the stripe simply means that each pleat shows exactly the same part of the tartan. On the first page of this post, you'll see one kilt pleated to a light blue stripe and one (the Isle of Skye) pleated to a solid color brown element in the tartan. If you follow the link in the post by Efer (page 4 of this thread), you'll see a kilt pleated to a red stripe.
