A first for me, I am making a ruff. I read the ruff advice area on Drea's website, but am confused if it is better to cartridge pleat or just gather pleats in groups. Is there a good site with illustrations about how to make the ruff?
My son and I are making an anime costume http://www.geocities.com/eyesofaclown/images/Perriot.JPG . Does anyone have advice on how to attach the ruffles to the band. I followed the ruff calculator on Drea's site and put in the measurements as follows: ruff depth: 5 inches width of each sett: 2 inches ruff height: 4 inches Will the ruff height at the band be 4 inches? If not, how high will it be at the neckband? Will it fan to 4 inches at the outer edge? I am also looking for advice on starching a ruff. Many thanks in advance.
