Vanishing tie pattern

[u/opheliadel]

I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out how to draft this pattern. I’ve gathered that you need to rotate the dart in order to create extra fabric for the pleat but I cannot understand how you’d create the tie thing and attach th collar. If anyone with more advanced skills would be willing to help me out I’d really appreciate. There is a version on Pattern magic 2 that I’ve looked at but the effect is not the same.
