It was difficult to see the pleats in details, all I could see were the 2 sewing lines on it to hold them well shaped…

It appears that the pleating was made, and then the bodice and skirts sewn together right side to right side, with backstitches using quite coarse and strong thread — it looks like silk from the gleam but am not sure.

Do I see that the lower row of pleat stitching is actually sewn around — or wrapped around — a cord? It would make perfect sense, and is a brilliant plan.

This has been a terrific series of posts.

Very best,

Natalie
