When I make box pleats, where the pleats touch at the sides, I do it three
times the length I need. If you make a drawing, you will see that every
pleat has 3 layers:

(hope this comes through correctly)

Subject: [h-cost] pleated trim question.
I am a little unsertain how i should cut the panels for the trims on this
dress i am making:
http://www.my-drewscostumes.dk/sofie3.htm
I want to make small box pleats, but i wondered if the trim should be cut in
the height or could i just cut it out in the breath?
Sorry if i misspelled the words.
Jean Hunniset says that its not nescesary to cut that much fabric for trim.
She says 11/2 or 2 times the lengt, but i think i should use at least 3
times the lenght.
I have plenty of fabric for the dress, so i dont have to be carefull. I am
using a little tiny gold trim in the edge, wich is wired, so its easy to
make the pleats.
What would your suggestions be?
Thanks for any answers.
