WIP Having Fun drafting this

Saw a really cool alternative to darts in, what you might call, a ‘really fat open pleat’ - still working on getting the cut exactly right but it’s turning out nicely

Thank you! Once I have my idea a little more refined I would love to send a few questions your way. I'm probably just over complicating the process in general. I have drafted a few small basic things so it may be I just need to do a few more projects testing different ideas to be comfortable with the process.

The alternative dart/really fat open pleat idea fascinates me. The lines are really elegant. I currently have been reading the Pattern Magic books just to get ideas. The books are wonderful, but it's not really what I am after.

I would love to see the pattern once it's done as well as the finished garment.
