    What BeeDee said... you want the distance taken pu by the pleats, plus the width of the apron to equal your hip/rump measurement.

    A thought....narrow that apron by three inches and make a narrower over-apron, OR widen that apron to half of your hip measurement (plus or minus an inch or two) and do the rest in pleats.

    Hey Alan,

    By "hip measurement", do you mean the waist measuremeent or the rump measurement? And yes, 53" is my rump measurement. (Just to not confuse everyone, 14x3=42, and 42+11=53) So do you think my best bet would be to narrow the apron to 8" and make 15 pleats, or should I widen the apron?
