I ran across this drindl dress diary, and I found it fascinating that she uses a "hansel" or a piece of checkered fabric to space her pleats on the skirt and apron. Also, braiding the ends of the cartridge pleat threads and leaving wide seam allowances in the bodice make this a piece of clothing that can be easily altered in the future.
A nice example of clothing, not costume
