Barb,

Was this a similar issue with my kilt in the Macpherson Reproduction colours? As you are well aware, my initial choice of pleating was to the (double white) stripe; however, after pinning you had recommended (and I agreed) that I pleat to the sett due to the fact that by pleating to the double white stripes with this particular sett woven by D.C. Dalgliesh, would cause the stripes to have a highly condensed, or "jammed" appearance - especially near the waist area of the kilt where most of the red colour would virtually disappear.
