My own attempt at pleating with muslin on a manikin bodice.

In the draping class that I attend, I tried my hand at pleating. It was an interesting experience to put it simple. I stuck with the basic accordion pleat style since it was my first time attempting such a task. Fanning the pleats out makes it look very artistic to say the least. It almost seems magical the way pleats can run in so many directions and versions.
