PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pay attention to Barb's last post. It's CRITICAL to the finished product, and a fact that not many kiltmakers actually realize or use. This is why there are so many kilts that have absolutely no uniform hang to them!

And like she said about the pleat depth... it's not so much how deep they are, but how properly they're sewn-up (Reader's Digest version).

If you can get those points down in sewing-up your first kilt, then you'll be WAY ahead of the game when it comes to making more.
