I am currently doing an alteration job on a little (7 years old) highland dancer's kilt. I am just letting the hem down a bit so no issues there. The kilt fits her in the waist and in the hips, but there is a weird horizontal ripple at about the level of the hip strap. It's not something I have to fix now, but I would like to know what would cause this in case I do eventually have to fix it. The pleats seem to be a few different sizes so I thought maybe the size at that level came out wrong. Any wisdom you could share will be greatly appreciated.
