I think the pleat looks clean and neat, but as Marjie above me pointed out (I wouldn't have thought of it), does it serve a purpose?<br />I wish you the best of luck "making it work!" It's a lovely dress in the works, can't wait to see it finished. :)Witch Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425809618304048578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-74141810615027257982011-09-21T15:29:45.986-04:002011-09-21T15:29:45.986-04:00I made a dress last summer that had pleats at the ...I made a dress last summer that had pleats at the top of the back, and I really hated it. I took the whole thing out, remade it without pleats, and then liked the dress a great deal. Since the pleat doesn't appear in your photo to be designed to give you ease of movement at the shoulder, I wonder what its function is. And the real question is, would you be happier without the pouf in the center of your back? I think it will be great once you work out this issue.Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-10413686306008564302011-09-20T16:31:45.547-04:002011-09-20T16:31:45.547-04:00I actually like the gathers.

That said, I hate when I get a poof on my back. With my swayback, there is a fine line between "soft gathers" and "grotesque poof." I understand why you are wary!The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-66577232366620972542011-09-20T07:13:35.141-04:002011-09-20T07:13:35.141-04:00Looks good so far.

Your sleeves have gathers and are softer in appearance, and although I like the pleat a lot, the gathers complement your sleeves better. It is looking good overall.Andreahttp://satinbirddesigns.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296724601340557264.post-85038644205432856462011-09-19T22:30:10.636-04:002011-09-19T22:30:10.636-04:00move the gathers or pleats - whichever - away from...move the gathers or pleats - whichever - away from the center out over the shoulder blades.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682426145065204806noreply@blogger.com
