This is fascinating -- thank you! It seems rather impractical, though -- does it provide extra warmth, perhaps, having all that extra fabric? Or was it just one more conspicuous consumption thing, do you suppose? I can certainly see how the men would appreciate looking that much more bulked-up -- I'm thinking of Henry VIII's enormous silhouette -- but I'd think the weight alone would make it far less comfortable than other styles.

Organ Pipe Pleats and rolled pleats can look pretty much the same from the outside. How they are constructed makes the difference. I haven't seen anything online for how to make the former. I took a class at Estrella years ago from Julie Hirsch and have been promising for years to write up how to do it.....guess I'd better get on it...
