LOL, yeah, that was with me. As I recall, if you laid out the kilt as Alan suggests, you should have the fabric for that pleat there already.

Yes, yes and yes!

My dad would love that dress blue tartan!

Alright, the first look at what I've done so far! This is the kilt (still in progress) after a test fitting on my dad.
Here is the under-apron


The over-apron


and the pleats


Like I said before I had to use two different fabric colors since I was short on length with just one color. stitching the different segments of the pleats together was very difficult, but after a few freak outs about not having enough fabric I finally got it all figured out.

Did you decide against the red stripe?

That is basically exactly what I'm looking for except in X-kilt form
