XKILT Question - Determining Under Apron/Pleat Width?

[Alan H]

No under apron pleats!?!



Buttons! Press studs!! Kilt liner!!! Underwear!!!!!

Er - re write with under apron pleats?

By this I mean that there's no pleating in the under-apron.

The over-apron has a deep reverse pleat underneath iy-, which then segues into a deep-ish pleat for pleat #1, over on the left side..OK, OK, my bad! this is called the "under-apron pleat"!

The under-apron begins at the last pleat on the right, and continues in one un-pleated length, as far across the body as the maker wants to do it. It lies beneath the over-apron, of course, when the wearer has it on. This is just like all the traditional kilts I've seen.

If someone just really wanted to add 10 inches to their under-apron and throw in a huge box-pleat that would "flop down" for modesty when sitting, I see no reason not to!
