For a lady...a kilt in silk or satin

[Monkey@Arms]

Has anyone worked with either these fabrics? Any advice? I know how to make traditional woolen kilts, but this is the first time to make one out of this kind of fabric. Questions? Would you completely line the aprons so they wouldn't be too flimsy? What would you use for more feminine looking buckles and straps? Would you machine top-stitch the hip pleats?

I thought we were talking about kilting?

I'm justing trying to clue an infrequent poster that she'd probably get a greater number of helpful responses if she posted her rather technical inquiry on one of the two sub forums specifically geared to discussions about how one goes about sewing kilts, rather than the general Contemporary Kilts sub forum.

Best regards,

Jake
