This is what I call a "flounce" rather than a ruffle and is made as
Sally describes. You need to make sure that the "inside" edge that is
sewn to the edge of the garment - such as on the neckline in the
picture you provided

is drafted and cut the exact measurement as the neckline so it meets
it on a 1:1 ratio and isn't ruffled or gathered. The beauty here is
in it's graceful - "flounce."

hi all
hmm, i attempted to post a question a little while ago, but it hasn't
shown up for some reason, so here i go again! i had a question
regarding how to go about sewing ruffles down the front of a shirt.
the only way of creating ruffles that i know of, is by sewing large
stitches along the fabric and then pulling the ends. but i find the
ruffles end up looking somewhat "heavy" (if that makes any sense) and
pleat-like. i was hoping for something like this:



thanks in advance!

ps: there's some awesome info on there!
