Am I the only guy that knows more about pleats than his wife?

Ah yes Bonnie the gene lives on Todays kids know what they like but have no clue as to why. Guys and gals all look great in a kilt, it is a much more tailored garment than the average pleated skirt. And more forgiving of minor oversizing errors. ( The rump! )

I know more about pleats than the four women I live with! Lol of the four my mother-in law is a sewer of Renasance clothing for fun, and I get the glazed eye look when I mention anything beyond box pleat or knife pleat, I say fell drop or sett/strip they stop listening lol it amuses me!

I bought me a sewing machine, I bought her a skill saw(I'm not going to let her use it though, she's a klutz)

I have a lady friend with one pleated skirt. I commented on the pleating. Ended up showing her how to wash, hang dry and press it on my equipment. Now she drops it off for me to do every month or so - . A skirt you can't open up is a lot more work to pleat and press. It's a cotton/poly solid color and holds very little pleat memory through the wash. You don't need matrimony to add new items to your honey do list, just a big mouth.
