Fraser Red Pleated to a Red Stripe
I'd like your opinions on this idea.

Thanks for your thoughts.

My preference is to pleat to the stripe rather than the sett, and I like the look of this. I think it would be a difficult kilt to sew (those red stripes are all rather close together), but the end result looks great to me.

What would it look like to the white stripe??
I do like the overall 'purple' look, too.... I bet it would look neat when swaying.....

i rather like the look. no idea about the difficulty factor. it seems that the lighter colours would FLASH as the kilt swung!

Thanks guys. My eye was not sure about all the little red horizontal lines. I thought it might make it look too chopped up and loose any effect of a solid horizontal line.
I really like Pleated to stripe as well and would love to make a Fraser tartan work to stripe.
Pleated to the white looks awful. The colors are so faded that it appears pink and white.
Comparing it to a Gordon Modern to stripe you really see the difference in effect.
The difficulty is a concern as well but I think your pleat would span the blue stripes on each side of the red. Maybe our many qualified kilt makers could advise me on this.

How do I like it?
If I could afford it, I'd order one pleated like that for the man who was Secretary for our Lodge for 47 years. He often wears a tie in the Fraser Red Tartan.
Does that answer the question?
