I finished pleating the silk for the sleeves yesterday before rehearsal, and went to go try on the sleeves to see how they looked, and the pleated section was HUGE. Like, way too big for my arms. I think I somehow need to pleat it down to get at least 2" or more out of the lowest pleats (before it balloons out to the puffy sleeve. Which probably means repleating everything, which I soooo don't want to do. Why is this dress being so naughty? I wanted this to be a quick project.
Anyway, I will probably have about 2-2.5 hours to work on it between work and rehearsal today, so I really hope I can get them to play nicely. On the plus side, with just random pleating, I was able to pleat down the armseye edge of the sleeve to somehow exactly match both armseyes. So in other words, that part is fine - it's just over the bicep that's not working.
