Pleated to sett or stripe?

[Tommy Hunt]

Barb is right, not that I should pass on her opinion. If it were to the sett it would look just like the aprons, if it were to the stripe all the pleats would look alike. It appears to me that kilt maker approximated the set to sett but didn't cheated the pleats. Perhaps, as Phil asks, it is short on the amount of fabric that was needed.

I suppose I could find out how much fabric was used couldn't I? Just add up what's there. I'll do that once the kilt is returned. If it's less than 6 yards I'll feel a bit cheated. Don't the good ones have 7 or 8 yards?
