Pleats and Thank You sewing pattern

The Pleats And Thank You Jumpsuit and Top are best suited for light to midweight woven materials. They are finished with a self facing around the neck and armhole which could get quite bulky if your fabric is too heavy. The pleated shoulder detail will fall differently depending on the drape of your fabric. A stiffer fabric will create a more structured appearance, while a relaxed fabric will produce a natural drape down the body. Light to medium weight linen, cotton, even lighter weight denim or canvas could all work really well with this pattern. Other options could be wool suiting, crepe back satin or tencel/lyocell twill.
