Does anyone know what mushroom pleating is, and how to do it? I'm trying to
make a ~1810 chemisette, view A from page 50 & 51 of Janet Arnold's _Patterns
of Fashion 1_, and she just says
"A white cambric chemisette with three mushroom pleated frills forming the
collar. These frills are made of strips of cambric cut on the straight grain I
1/2" deep at the center front widening to 2 1/4" at the center back and 90"
long. They are mushroom pleated onto 1/16" wide tapes and then stitched to the
neck band which is a crossway piece 15 3/4" long."
Doing a websearch only turns up commercial pleating stuff, and I want to know
how to do it by hand...
Thanks in advance!
