I'm about to start a new dress with inverted pleats. The last dress I made using Pat's pattern, boning and stiffener and some advice from this board came out so well and went together without a problem. (Thanks everyone!) Now I face a new challenge of inverted pleats and again my questions are 1. Are the seam allowances on the Irish Threads pattern or do I add them on and 2. Do I use the stiffener with the contrasting "inverted pleat fabric" because I know there's a fold line and wondered if with the stiffener, will it make a sharp fold?
Replies:
-the patterns say that they have seam allowance at the edges -- some are 5/8 some are 1 inch -- pattern pieces say where is what. I use stiffener in the pleats (but lighterweight only) and boning at the TOP of the pleat to make it open fully.
