Please be very careful if you intend to touch up your pleats.

Heat combined with steam will take the crisp edge right off your pleats.

I have found that when a kilt gets that stage curtain ripple in the back it is just better and easier to baste and press the kilt instead of trying to do what at first seems like a quick fix.

If you have a small travel steamer you can do a quick touch up by hanging the kilt so that the pleats and apron are supported and straight then lightly passing the steamer over the pleats as you gently pull down on the hem.

This should only be done to remove travel wrinkles because you can take the crisp edge off your pleats by mistake very quickly.
