I have an idea I think of what I'm going to try. I'm going to try to taper in the top 5-6" of the apron maybe 1" a side and go with 10-12" apron and 32 1.25" reveal with a 12" apron or maybe 26-28 1.5" and a 10 or 13" apron. Honestly I'm leaning more to the 1.5", 32 pleats are alot to stitch down. I prefer to have stitched down pleats for minimal maintenance.Possibly with double/accordian under apron pleats. It's my kilt, so I should be able to make it however I want, right. Following the main outline, deviate where needed...

I'll have absolute max expansion possible, I think, this way.
