Inspiration...Pleat Waist Dress

 Here is another dress from Poetry:

This is the Pleat-Waist Dress. Price tag: $375.00. Details:  silk velvet, relaxed slightly waisted silhouette, nehur collar, mother of pearl buttons, waist seam with pleats above and below front and back, button and cuff fastening, pleated cuffs, jetted side pockets.

This dress would look wonderful in a crushed stretch velvet which is much easier to care for than the silk velvet is.  

For the pattern, I was unable to locate a pattern that was really close to this.  It looks familar but nothing.  So, here are some thoughts - 

Take a favorite shirt pattern, remove the collar but leave the collar stand.

At the waistband, end here and add a tier that is the length you want. Giving enough room to create the pleats.  I think that is doable.

Hope you are inspirec to create something wonderful.

Happy Stitching!
