Shape Making/Toiling

Today i spent shape making and toiling to get inspiration for garment designs and ideas. I was draping in georgette and really want to get fullness in in lightweight fabrics so it creates movement but also evokes a sense of romanticism. I was gathering and draping around the mannequin and decided to princess pleat for a more tightly gathered effect. I sampled various widths and tightness of princess pleating and it seams pretty sturdy and gives the fullness in the drape i am after.
