Pleating Opinion

[Pleater]

Really? If done at both sides, it shouldn't do anything with the centre of the back - or am I wrong?

Th apron and fell are often pleated to create a definite feature of the sett in the centre front and back, so that if the waist is narrowed or enlarged that feature, or sometimes pair of features moves off centre.
Once you see it it can really stand out - a pair of stripes or bands, a particularly vivid band, if not centred makes the whole garment look lopsided.

What about to the red strip?

The kilt maker sent that one along as well, but the red didn’t really stand out, and to me it looked the most lawn-chairs of all the options.
