    Yeah, that will look nice. Only 3 inches of taper? You can ALMOST not bother with taper at all, with that little bit of a difference between butt and hip. I'd do it anyway, but instead of getting uber-careful about measuring out 3/25's of an Inch, just taper every pleat "just a scooth" meaning about an eighth of an inch. That'll work out plenty close enough.

    I really like the subtle colors on that MacCouch-you'll blend in well in a used furniture store. Seriously though, it looks great! And you're right, the inside (pleated to no stripe) looks good too. Can't wait to see it belted on.

    Be well,
