Desert Camo Casual Ver 0.2 alpha

[Pleater]

just a suggestion - seeing as you are obviously progressing in leaps and bounds with this kilt building - in the side view the kilt seems a tad tilted - that is down at the front and up at the back.

I'm afraid you really need to give yourself a bit more space in the rear - the kilt is seeking greater width and is following the line of least resistance by sliding upwards.

With a bit more space in the back the aprons will then swing forwards and make a smoother vertical line, and probably also give a better swing.

Are you tapering the apron/pleats edges? I make a taper which is 2 inches deep at the waist going to nothing at the hem, like a vertical dart though I dont always sew them down, just press them in. That tends to bring the centre front up for some reason - though you have to let the top edge of the fold for the taper drop down so it does not pull the edge of the fabric into a pleat.

The 2 inches seems to be just enough for me so the back and front of the kilt look level in wear.

I think the trick when fitting a kilt is to make it just small enough to sit right, rather than letting it out until you can just squeeze into it.

What Steve said....eas up on the tension on the hip strap about 2 inches and the kilt will hang a lot better. Aside from that, great job!
