Sav, my buddy, it's as good as DONE. It's just a matter of taking a seam ripper this weekend and slowly running the lines. It's GUARANTEED to work. Of course, I'll need to wash and damp-dry the kilt after the process to get it to drape in the right place. What I'll do is: put it on before it perfectly dries, and have Stacey "pin" the pleats into the correct spot for a nice drape. Once pinned, I'll iron them into THAT position and voila! After that... I'm going to see just how far off the original sewing-lines this kilt was generically made inorder to fit my individual shape. This ought to be good!8)
