tutorials- waterfall

[glittersweet]

Very excited to say I think I have managed to start a real honest to goodness guide to waterfall pleats. My very old guide has been pinned and repinned and I no longer have track of who is using what from what platform. Even my updated guide needs rewriting in light of some recent file sorting.

I really want to make some kind of plug in measurement app as I think it really is that easy, but so far I’ve made some ready to print line guides that I’ll be testing with my pen and touchscreen.

It does look like each costume house for each production of Phantom of the Opera has a single template that is then altered. This is great, it means a single pattern will work for three or more costumes within that production.

I am though very sore and very tired, it doesn’t detract from my excitement, but it does mean I need to rebuild my tolerance for a while.

My entire Modular Frock system needs integrating as a lot of it even works for vintage clothing.

Okay.

Rest, recovery, then back to it.

I'm still working from notes I scribbled down from (I think) your original waterfal guide a Very Long Time Ago.

I'm petty sure I used those notes when making the waterfall pleats down each side of a removable train on a friend's wedding dress over ten years ago - pleats which never got seen because the bridesmaids buttoned the train on back-to-front so the pleats all sat invisibly flat between the train and the dress skirt.

By the time she realized, after the ceremony, and tried to flip the train for the photographs the topside of the train had been dragged in the dirt and stained so was left attched back-to front for the pictures too
