This afternoon on PBS show, Design Squad Nation, an origami dress was created. The finished dress is amazing (21:40), but the pleating of the fabric is interesting. (5:15) The premise of the show is some sort of race to create a dress for a photo shoot for Teen Vogue magazine, and they are are use engineering techniques. I have not seen part one, nor even all of part two, and was totally surprise to find out it was a 'kids' show!! Even my husband was impressed and surprised. http://pbskids.org/designsquad/video/?pid=AZmBouDAKGmXjwdDvKUUs_QfSe7n652g
When the fabric came out of the oven, the man from the pleating place was heard to say that no one in New York City could reproduce this pattern. He obviously has not met paper origami. Kathy Knapp, Peoria, Illinois, USA Do well your part today. - Juliette Gordon Low
