The easiest way to do the en forreaupleats was on the dress form. First, I pinned the back of the dress to the finished lining. Then, it was mostly trial and error to get the pleats right. |

The pinned pleats. |
Early pictures of the dress, taken with the self-timer on my camera. I haven't added the cuffs yet. I like the view of the neckline without the kerchief. |

And the back. I like this shot because it not only shows the back without the kerchief, but my stays are laced a little tighter and don't leave a ridge :) |
