I'm glad for the advice and I know they take time to perfect, I'm just irritated I didn't notice it until now! I think I'll make an attempt to pick out and resew just the one pleat that tapers inversely and try that before undoing each one.

The other thing that keeps me wondering is - how far do you go before you're over-analyzing and nit-picking? I see other smaller mistakes that aren't visible unless you're almost 3" away from the pleat but look fine from a normal viewing distance. Do I go back and redo those to make it as perfect as possible (what my perfectionist is telling me) or do I be realistic and let them slide, making sure I don't make the same mistake in the other pleats? It's like the comic image of the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other!

Regardless, it's time to relax with a cold beer and work more on the kilt!
