Personally, I'd say just pleat it and belt it on, leisurely my great kilt takes 20min (8yds). If nothing else, playing with it that way will give you a good idea of where to sew/baste/loop.
I should add an answer to your other question, the excess material on above your belt when you are done can be arranged in a number of pleasing ways.

oddly formatted, but very useful
For me, it is greatly dependent on temperature, bustle when it is warm, full cloak when it is cooler/cold, tuck under my bonnet when it is raining.
