Bob, It is mostly a trick of the light. The kilt is definitely pleated to the sett but possibly not with the 100% accuracy that we are used to seeing in a hand-sewn from Barb T. or the like. Also the subtlety of the colours hides it a bit, particularly where the purple and rust cross.
If you compare the front and the back you can see the thin line creates the box as well as the wide black line. However, as you notice the black line looks much fainter vertically on the pleats than it does on the apron. It probably has to do with the flash and the way the light reflects off they pleats since they are not as flat as the apron. Even on the front the vertical lines look slightly fainter than the horizontal. If you look at the most lower right square on the pleats you can just make out the vertical rust lines in the sett.


Hope this helped.
