Use overlapped ribbon for the pleated effect on the front. ************ Um...why not just pleat the front? They look like box pleats as there is a shadow on top and on bottom. I say this because the most striking effect of the dress is the ONE red fabric everywhere. The fringe could be the silk of the dress frayed. Unless you can find perfectly matching ribbon, silk and fringe, you will lose the effect. And notice in the side view how full the back is. I'd bet there are cartridge pleats at the CB (flay pleats elsewhere)....just like they do in the 1850's and 1860's. The dress could definitely fly for 1860, 1861. The men in stove pipe hats help give the "period" away too. They are obviously going for the Victorian Gothic Novel look. Very lovely production design, IMHO. **************Remember Mom this Mother's Day! Find a florist near you now.
