If you are not careful you'll mess up the fit. I've tried this twice and had to rip out all the stitches until I wised up. Have someone pin the pleats down at the bottom of the fell while you are wearing said kilt. Otherwise it will never hang right. Since there is so little taper in it already if you just pin it while it's lying on the tabe you'll end up with a stove pipe, and the aprons will pull mightily when you put it on.
