Keeping pleats pleated

[Hamish]

Best way is to gently lay your kilt flat, make sure the pleats are where they belong, lay a pressing cloth over and PRESS, not iron. Drawing the iron over them can stretch the material out of shape.


Thanks Hamish for your great words of wisdom on this.

You are more than welcome, Livingston!

You have just beaten me to it. As soon as I read Dirka's question, I knew what I had to tell her, but thought it best to read everyone else's responses first. Glad I did!

All I can do, Dirka is to endorse what Livingston (!) so wisely describes.

Indeed... most important to maintain the original crease lines of the pleats as the kiltmaker ironed them.in. The back of the kilt will likely hang in waves otherwise.
