    Basting the pleats for pressing with USAK Casual?

    I have a USAK Casual that I've been wearing for Highland Games competitions. The pleats are currently messy looking, so I'm thinking I should press them. I read through the Tutorial on Basting & Pressing the Pleats and I searched the forum to no avail for an example of someone doing that on a PV kilt....

    So...should I Baste the Pleats & Press per the instructions here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...ng-kilt-26550/ and here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...ressing-35190/ ??

    I have washed the kilt 3 times, and ironed it (without basting) once.

    Here is what the kilt currently looks like:
