    OK, that makes sense.

    The Reverse Kingussie (aka UK) is just the same as a regular kingussie but inside out. the box pleat at the center back in inside and all the pleats point backwards.
    Ooops..I was thinking of a Reverse Kinguisse when I was envisioning my project!

    You treat the apron edges just as you would the deep Pleat of a knife pleated kilt on the left side.
    That's what I was looking for!

    It is a normal knife pleated kilt from one apron to the center back with a reversed or mirror image on the other side. The only difference is on one you have two deep pleats and on the other two reverse pleats.
