It’s pleats by default, because I’m not very good at gathering and don’t know how to twist… I’d love a good reason to practice though! :-)

Pleats. I have a maxi skirt from Old Navy where they pleated the hem. So much more flattering! When I make my own I will most definitely copy it!

I mostly gather. Pleats look so nice and crisp, though. I should do some more pleats ;)

Why choose just one when gathers, twist and pleats can add so much design and creativity to your garments.
