Pleating a Kilt
Greetings to all at XMTS!
I just received my first kilt in the mail the other day.
It is a Medium weight Edwards of Wales belted plaid.
I am beginning to get the hang of pleating it, although it still doesn't look amazing, the pleats aren't very tight and don't come around my waist as far as I would like. Any suggestions?
I make the pleats about 1.25 inches. Is there a standard pleat size?
It made me a bit sad to discover it wasn't possible to wear a wool jacket with a belted plaid due to the excess wool above the belt... is there any way to formalize the great kilt enough to wear to a wedding? (a traditional wedding rather than medieval)
That's about all the questions I have for now.
Slainte!
p.s. I've not quite figured out the art of a penannular brooch without it looking sloppy...
