Hi hi

The lumpiness will press out - that's the beauty of wool.

Why don't you give me the # of pleats that you have plus the measurement at hips and waist across the back of the kilt, and I'll calculate the pleat size for you? I'll also write down in the post how I did it.

The difference between 3/4" and 7/8" really does matter. Suppose that the pleats really need to be 7/8" at the waist, and you make them 3/4". That's 1/8" per pleat times, let's say, 25 pleats. Yikes - the kilt will by 1/8" x 25 or over 3" too small at the waist. Truly, even 1/32" matters.

So, when I'm doing pleats, I actually measure to 1/32" at both waist and hips. And you _definitely_ don't want the whole thing coming out too small.
