I'm ready to put a dress together and would like to know how many layers of vilene to use for the front panel, sides, and back. I don't want to have any chance of accidental folding that might be permanent.

-I use 1 on the back, 2 on the sides and 3 or 4 in the front, depending on the size (bigger dresses usually get the most)

-We use 1 in the back and 2 on the sides and front with the irish threads boning in the front. Very light and flat

-We also used 2 in the front and side panels and 1 in the back... as for the boning... we placed it in the front, side panels, pleats (top and bottom) and put a small strip in the back because the panel kept caving in between my daughter's legs.. now its flat in the back, but still easy to dance in...looks great

12% (10) Two in front & sides, 1 in back NO boning
2% (2) One all the way around plus boning
20% (17) One all the way around NO boning
5% (4) Other, please explain in a post!

9% (8) I plan to use less stiffiner to make it lighter in the future

The results include 86 votes. The percentages are actually a little low since the last option could also be selected.
