Wasting no time; Hall tartan box-pleat

[Alan H]

Before I got the brain out of UK vocabulary I was thinking of Teddy boys and their drape jackets - but I think you mean curtains.

The weighted inserts for net curtains - the continuous strips, can be inserted into small hems or held behind tapes of a toning colour to give gravitas to a garment.

For a kilt the strip should be cut to allow the material to make a sharp fold, and if possible place it so that there are layers of fabric both sides of it as it lies within the pleats. It would not need to be inserted along every inch of the hem, just a few cm of lightweight strip would hold down a pleat and influence several more around it.

Thanks, Anne...I'll look for this stuff.
