    I recomend sewing down the pleats 1/3. I think it has a slightly skirt like look when the pleats are open to the waistband. And remember, the Thrifty kilt is very light weight and the sewn down pleats helps against wind and abrupt movement. I talk from experience...

    I vote for sewing. The glue tape won't hold a bachelor party.

    It does because I put a line of horizontal stitching underneath the top third of the pleats that I stuck down to stop them coming unstuck, maybe sewing each pleat down individually (vertically) would be better if your sewing's up to scratch, which mine isn't really but I'm fairly happy with my own results.

    Well if it's on the inside a regular walmart sewing machine will work, right?

    And do I just sew the pleats the length, or only half or ????? vertically? Also! Do I do it right on the bend of the pleat, or!? Ugh. Haha.
