Just did a little sleuthing on kilt skirts, and the ones I found actually are complete mirror images. Not saying it can't be done the other way, but apparently people who make kilt skirts (which I don't, hence my ignorance!) typically have the pleats opening the other way. So, if I had to make a choice, I'd be likely to reverse everything, particularly if I were a left-handed person!
