Here is a picture of the front pleats:

The 5 pleats on one side are just like making a kilt from the fell up to the to of the kilt. The other 5 pleats on the opposite side of the reverse pleat need to be done from the top of the kilt to the bottom of the fell (opposite of the traditional method of making a kilt). I also wanted to keep the material of the skirt at a minimum so the pleats have only 1/2" reveal and 1/2" behind the reveal. This makes only two layers for the pleated section, if the pleats had larger depth, the thickness of the pleated section would be four layers thick.
The center is the reverse inverted pleat. The back is exactly the same:
