    Have you seen Hamish's pleat sweep video?

    No I haven't, and one of our esteemed female members pm'd me with what I think is my problem! Not enough "hip-flick" and bending over too much to sweep the pleats, causing the rear hem to rise too much in the process. I'm so glad there are women on this board! I'll have to watch Hamish's video when I get home. I don't think my system will play it at work.


    nope...requires Flashplayer and my work 'puter is without.

    Her other observations included:

    I just watched Hamish's video again, too. Some of the big things I noticed (ignoring the pleat sweep for a moment):

    - Keep the rear down, don't stick it out to sit, or bend over while trying to sit or reaching back to do a pleat sweep. This will cause the kilt to hang vertically and get crushed accordian-style. You'll have very little kilt under you.
    - Lower yourself to the edge of the seat and while you continue lowering yourself to sit, THEN push your body back. This seems to help pull the pleats where they need to be, under your rear and legs.

    Sometimes, I wonder if the "angle" of the pelvis and direction of sitting are the biggest problems for making sure you have the kilt under you when you sit


    Thanks, all, again for the help! Now I have to go home and get a kilt on...
