Pleated necks are a neckline type. See pattern #1126 and then see "Options - Necklines" for the pleated neck types and settings.

Pleated neck or shoulder?

Pleated necks are selected in the neck option in the catalog. Would cost 1 pattern credit.Start with whatever bvlouse outline you desire I often use 112621 as the base.

There are also pleated neck items in Fall 10 if you dotn want to spend a patetrn credit- a pleated Neck Tee should do it.

I own a complete set of blouse patterns. I thought that would be included in the options as it is in DS

Actually when I typed in the 112621 it came up as a patter I owned, so thanks I found it

If you own unlimited blosues it does. Just change the neck to pleated in the catalog.

There you go......have fun
now 1 go to closure and make it no closure
then options> neckline
select radial or vertical pleated
the total take up and the numnber of desired pleats and the distance between them

default works very well.
Last thing - Dont sue waist darts interfers with the pleat hang.

There is an article in sewing articles on constructing tips.

if using stretch fabrics enter a small stretch factor- not too much

Thanks for the info that was quite helpful. Do bust dart interfear with the way the pleats hang?

Not so much - the side and elegant darts seem to be mostly out of the way. I use the elegant angled dart all the time.

Just the waist darts can block and whack the pleats.
