Making a Tea Gown - The Pleat Affair

In this episode of our Tea Gown Adventure, we discover the dangers of following directions and attempt to add the vine motif to our Watteau Pleat. This is the second video in my project making an 1890s tea gown inspired by Neil Gaiman's "The Sleeper and the Spindle."
