After
doing samples
we were unsure about the look and durability of our pleats. We decided to look
to historic images to see how closely they were packed and if you could see any
stitches when sewing them to a panel. Unfortunately because the bodices cover
all the pleats you cannot see how well they have been attached. I think I have
got a method now to sewing them and I am using double thread so I am sure they
will be strong enough.
On our samples there are lines where we’ve stitched and we
want to find out how to rectify this. On these examples however the pleats are
quite short and so I don’t think this would be a problem.
