The kilt is made from 4 of 60 inch strips cut across the fabric, as the pattern looked odd running in the normal direction for a kilt.

That made the strip of material 20 ft wide and 24 and 1/4 inches long. Each piece was hemmed to 23 inches before being joined into the strip.

There is a visible seam in the centre back, though it is inside the inverted pleat, which takes 8 inches of fabric each side. The two other seams are the inner folds of the 4th small pleat counting inwards, not including the under apron pleat.

There are 11 pleats each side with 7 inches of fabric in each, and the under apron pleat which has about 15 inches. The 7 inch pleats have about 3 inches within the fold and all have just under an inch showing. They were pinned down and adjusted to be even using a piece of card as spacer, so they just filled the waistband between the edges of the apron.

There is a 2 inch shaping of the apron - so there is 4 inches folded in at the top of the apron, tapering to nothing at the hem.

The edges of the aprons are straight.

The two sides of the kilt are exact mirror images except for the belt loop on the outer edge of the upper apron.
