To sew a long skirt with pleats on the waist, you must first make a pattern according to the drawing, then sew the shaped parts of the panels and only after that send them to the atelier for pleating. A little time consuming? Agree, but the result is worth it! After all, on pleated fabric, the pattern becomes voluminous.   You will need: patterned chiffon 2.00 m wide 145 cm for all sizes; plain crepe satin 2.20 m wide 140 cm; interlining G 785; 1 button; 2 small buttons for sewing.
