    Are my eyes playing tricks on me or are the pleats on the black skirt going in the wrong direction?

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Which direction do the pleats go?

    Hmm,

    I'm not exactly sure which direction the pleats on a skirt go. it's my first. I assumed that it was the reverse of the kilt, and simply worked backwards.

    AACCK! I stand corrected. They are backwards!

    Oh well. Ebay here I come. (with a quick stop in Photoshop)

    Box pleats next week.

    Thanks for saving me future pain.

    Kevin.

    Ah, but you said you wanted to make unique items for the fair lady - how much more unique can one get?

    What a great looking garment you've created! I'm certain it's a breath-taker when in "full swish."
