    Right-- Finished!

    My kilt on its inaugural 15.5 hour shift at work. The pleats aren't holding as well as I had hoped... Bad fabric choice I think. All in all, I like it though.

    Good responses from most of the people I dealt with. Some of the supervisors don't think it's in dress code; my store manager didn't say anything, just shook is head in a bit of disbelief; strangers gave me good comments, and that they don't see many med around with kilts. I replied that I'm trying to change that. We laughed. My coworker asked me if he got some fabric in Black Watch of some Hunter Variant if I could make him one. I let him know that he could easily purchase a good one inexpensively online, rather than pay for the fabric and have my shoddy sewing skills ruin it.

    My mother still doesn't want me going out in it. Oh well. All in all, pretty good responses.
