I really apreciates your thoaghts, many thanks. Its just because i dont think my boxpleating is looking the way i want it to look. The look i want is this: http://www.my-drewscostumes.dk/sofie1.htm And maybe i should not stitch down the pleats flat in each side, but let some of the pleats float more....... its ever so difficult. And maybe also dont make the pleating finnished, but let it be build up bits by bits on the dress itself How would you do the job?
