George7, ...now I see your thread! Very nice! Wish I'd've seen this, originally, but actually I am progressing along exactly as your photos of the buildup make it out. Yes, I have had to cut it in sections to get the stripe horizontal to the wrap length.

Longhuntr74, I see what you mean about double boxes... good points. I am finished with the section joining and hems and now just pinning in different pleat types to see what it falls like. I have two of my other pro kilts out and acting as measuring guides for the A-frame taper and general comportment.

I think I've stuck my fingers about 100 times with needles in the past three days!
