Fit like Mon?

bit sissy calling it a skirt. I think that to do a wrap a round with pleats
would be difficult, too difficult for me to try.

not tried it myself but it might be worth a try.

Well, I call it also a skirt, or at least I realize I can use it as a skirt
on a female figure. But then, fashion being what it is, skirts for males
will be hot next season! Years ago, my wife and I imagined exactly that for
fun :-)
Perhaps not too difficult to do a wrap. I have done something of the sort
with wrapping a rope around a post. Basically, it is extruding, translating,
rotating, extruding, translating, rotating, etc, etc, etc. tedious but not
impossible.

Oh sure, that works fine. However, for more complex things that does not
really work well. Watch the upcoming Take 5 to see what I mean.

They (the fashion houses) keep trying to promote that every couple of
years. If skirts were so good, why has my wife not worn one since she left
school?

I know what you mean. Same here.

It is quite rewarding in fact, and giving convincing results. I have no
experience with cloth but it should work the same. I shall have to try!

Sorry for the late reply, I missed this.
I can imagine that it is rewarding but I don't have the dexterity and defiantly
not the technique.
