Sure, Anne, I could rip the thing apart and start over again. The thing is, I simply don't WANT to. I want it DONE so that I don't have to look at this pile of fabric for another six months. From day One this kilt has been a compromise. The vendor shipped the wrong weight of fabric and I didn't figure that out for two months...I didn't open the package.

Anyway, the pleats and tapers are now done, and while they don't like up perfectly, they're not an absolute nightmare. I don't have enough fabric to make a complete under-apron so I'm going to have to tack on something for modesty's sake.

Seriously, I'm thinking about finishing this and then snapping some pictures when it's all pressed and hanging pretty, and then snapping pictures of the details of the inside to illustrate just HOW BAD something can be in the details of construction, and still actually look like a kilt (or at least a kilt-shaped-object) from the outside.
