Well - I'm wearing my woodland camo kilt pleated in the reverse Kingussie style this morning.

Having worn one of my very first kilts which is pleated in the Kingussie style I have to say it is a relief not to have the pleats catching on things.

With pleats opening to the front the Kingussie style hangs up on cupboard and door handles, the edges of the furniture, and any vegetation - this area is called the New Forest but really it is a lot of heathland and low scrub and so if you are thinking of going out into the great outdoors, the reverse Kingussie is the one.

By the way - will you have to divide the material into strips so the pattern runs the right way?

With this pattern I had to cut it into selvage to selvage strips to get the right effect. It did mean that I used just about every inch of the material. I made the joins at the inner folds of the pleats as that is the easiest place to fit them in. You can even include the shaping of the pleats into the waist with the join there.
