Franchesca,

So would the pleats that attaches to the band, be 1-2" deep?

I have a process that I pushed online a while ago on how to make a quick and dirty ruff.

A first for me, I am making a ruff.  I read the ruff advice area on
Drea's website, but am confused if it is better to cartridge pleat or
just gather pleats in groups.  Is there a good site with illustrations
about how to make the ruff?

My son and I are making an anime costume
http://www.geocities.com/eyesofaclown/images/Perriot.JPG .  Does anyone
have advice on how to attach the ruffles to the band.  I followed the
ruff calculator on Drea's site and put in the measurements as follows:
ruff depth: 5 inches
width of each sett: 2 inches
ruff height: 4 inches

Will the ruff height at the band be 4 inches?  If not, how high will it
be at the neckband?  Will it fan to 4 inches at the outer edge?

I am also looking for advice on starching a ruff.

Many thanks in advance.
