stupid question

[Andrew Green]

Ha ha ha... yeah that happens from time to time.
Well, often a little more often than you'd imagine. Funny though.

Thanks for the education, now I see the difference.

This should answer your question. http://www.elizabethancostume.net/pleats/ The only dumb question is asking one you already know the answer to.

I'll go further than that and assert that there are no stupid questions. This is in no way meant to imply that there are not plenty of smart-@ssed answers. *shrug*

I like the comparison pictures on this page for comparing knife pleats to box pleats.

I've also got a nice comparison picture on the Scottish Tartans Museum gift shop page that shows two kilts, side by side, both in the same tartan, both pleated to the same stripe, one a 4-yd box pleat, and one an 8-yd knife pleat.

It's the Moffat tartan, by the way. That's my butt on the left, and the larger rear end on the right is my partner-in-crime at the museum, Ronan.

Aye,
