Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Inspired by the extravagant royal gowns of the Baroque age and the intricate columns of cathedrals and palaces, my design is very couture-like with the fan-out pleated collar balanced on a hidden mandarin collar, bishop sleeve and the intricately knife-pleated skirt.
Material Notes
Muslin (trial fabric)
Whalebone
Zipper (as opening for blouse and skirt).
Difficulty
Novice

Wow, that’s stunning! Excellent work with pleating. I can imagine that collar on a coat, too.

Wowee, just last night I was looking online for any kind of pattern for a Victorian style collar. Yours is INCREDIBLE. Don’t suppose you came across any more basic patterns when you were drafting yours did you? Oh I can’t wait to see your finished version later. It looks gorgeous as a muslin because you can just admire the magnificent structure of it!

Gorgeous!! Love to see couture work here and yours is amazing. Totally inspiring – even if it is way beyond my skill level :)

Thanks for the comments I guess the time taken for pleating was well worth it. I had a great experience doing this project.
To Nehmah, this is a trial piece on muslin, so we’re not required to add zipper; we’re only need to leave allowance for it.

Wonderful work on your project. The pleating must of taken you a long time to finish. Well worth it.

I really like that collar, and like nehmah, I’m in awe imagening all the time and hard work you must hae put into all that pleating.

Excellent project work. You surely spent hours on the pleating alone. I have one question…Who makes the zipper? Nehmah
