Aberdeen District - Pleasure or nightmare to pleat? - Very interesting solution...
Received my 5 yard Aberdeen casual this evening, and I have to say, it has a very interesting look to it! Given only 5 yards of fabric, and a 23-inch sett, we knew it wasn't going to be pleated to the sett. As it turns out, it wasn't exactly pleated to the stripe, either! I would describe it as "pleated to the first color, until we run out of stripes of that color... then pleat it to the next color, until we run out of that color...". Overall, it makes for a very interesting look!
I just pulled it from the shipping packaging, so it's not been steamed, pressed, or otherwise touched up, but here are a couple pics.
First, the front apron...

And the rear...
