You really have got the look, it's lovely. Some time I will take the
time to read through your site with my Dutch dictionary. But I do like
the picture of the dress all twisted up - it looks as if it would go
through a wedding ring, like a Christening shawl was meant to do!

It is the very basic construction. with gores to make the skirt wider
and side lacing with added lengt.
The pleating is done by moisting the silk, pleat and let it dry for a day.
Here is the rest of the website.

Very spiff! You've definitely got "the look" down. Which
construction method did you use? (For the uninitiated, there are
several theories of bliaut construction, including simple side lacing,
side lacing with added length through the body to get the folds across
the belly, bias-cut, separate skirt piece, and various types of
pleating/smocking--not to mention the largely discredited "corselet" cut).
