Hello,
has anyone ever heard of German Renaissance
pleating techniques? "Textiler Hausrat" mentions
sumptuary laws by which a pleated apron must not
cost more than a given price for the "Felterer",
a tradesman specialised in making the pleats, and
some household inventories mention pleating
boards and irons. But how exactly would these
pleats have been made? They are so small and yet
look perfectly parallel when you look at this
picture:

I cannot believe that they were ironed one by one, do you?
How would you make these pleats, or how would you "fake" them for the stage?
Best wishes,
Hanna
