I understand your confusion I'll try to answer all your questions.


>Are you working in inches here? 90 inches?
Yes I'm working in inches.

>And when you say that you want the hemline at 90 inches, is that the hemline flat, or accounting for the ruffles/pleats? Or do you mean the vertical length of the skirt? Why is the length relevant in these measurements?
When the hem is circled it will have a circumference of 90 inches at the bottom, both before and after it is pleated.I'm not talking about the length.

>And aren't pleats supposed to go at a slight angle for something like this, instead of straight down?
When you iron it you make the pleats get wider as they go down, but since the waistline isn't angled the pleats wont be angled either. I dodn't use a high heat or alot of pressure when I Ironed mine so the pleats would be softer. A Petticoat will help spread them.

>Are you marking the points/folds in your diagram? Are they the unmarked center line between A and the middle of B? Are you bringing A to the middle of B from the front or from the back? Here is more detail, sorry for shitty msPaint.

so For a 25" waist with a hemline of 90" laid flat with ten pleats you have 2.5 inches per pleat in the front, in the back you have (90-25)/10 or 6.5 inches so you want to mark 2.5 inches, then 3.25 inches 3.25 inches then repeat all along the fabric, leaving seam allowances at the ends or hidden behind a pleat if you want.
