I'm trying to do a fabric pull across the bust area on a bodice with the pull gathered in the center. Can anyone share their technique on how to achieve this? I've tried a few different things and it just doesn't look perfect.

Thanks!

After I'm happy with the pattern of the pleats, I baste along the outside edges then trim off the excess fabric. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

This is my first attempt at making both from scratch. I've altered several so hopefully this won't be too difficult. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
