The cuff of a white linen dress with pleats pinned in place.
How I spent Superb Owl Night 🦉 #sewing #garmentsewing #pleating
The upper part of a white linen dress showing a partially pleated neckline edged with a white linen band. The pleats are inspired by the find of very fine pleats in the Hedeby chamber grave 5, while the band is based on the Gnezdovo dress.
I did it! I can't count the number of times I redid the band, but I am finally at a point where I like what I created. The band to cover the hem was inspired by the Gnezdovo dress, the neckline form is supposed to resemble the oval Hedeby dresses. #pleating #neckline #garmentsewing #dressmaking
A band cut on the bias (in a 45° degree angle across the corner) from rectangular linen fabric.
Learning of the day: Unless you cut the band "on the bias" your neckline band will never be nice and flat. These early medieval folks that had their dress neckline done this way surely could afford to waste a lot of fabric. Rich people... 😅 #neckline #sewing #pleating #howtheheckdoesthiswork
A neckline with fine pleats held in place with sewing pins.
Let the pleating begin! I never saw me pleating before I decided to do something completely random for fun, and now I am there. First step, secure the pleats with pins to sew them in place.

The Art of Pleating. I go back in and free hand embroider on my pleated garments. #Pleating #Smocking #madebyme #Fashion #Sewing
The front and back panels of a dress with cut necklines. The front panel has a much wider neckline to allow for pleating, which requires three times the amount of fabric.
After a lot of thinking, measuring, and more thinking, the necklines for my dress have been cut. The straight part of the front neckline will now be pleated until the outer edge of the front neckline matches the back neckline. #sewingmagic #pleating #linendress
