It needs to have a little tautness across the width of the back.
You can see in the photo the extra fabric of the of the cut pleats on the inside that the stablilzer is stitched to.
Not spotted this till now, but that is Laxey tartan, I remember you mentioning elsewhere you'd made a kilt from it. Well looks like Laxey though I know Manx National Dress is very similar (the tartan, not to be confused with The National Dress of the Manx which is Peree Bane, and Breeks).
