✅ Key Techniques in This Video:
• Drafting the Peter Pan Collar by overlapping shoulders.
• Applying a gap dart on the Princess Seam for a superior fit.
• Calculating Pleats
• Mastering the one-third rule for the perfect Cuff length.

✅ Fabric Recommendations:
• Cold Seasons: Use Tweed, Wool, or Heavy Crepe. These fabrics hold the pleats beautifully and provide warmth.
• Warm Seasons: Use Linen, Cotton, or Viscose. These are breathable and comfortable for daily wear.
• Daily Use: Gabardine or Poly-rayon blends are excellent choices as they don’t wrinkle easily.

✅ Best Occasions: This design is incredibly versatile. It is perfect for Professional Office Environments, University Outfits, or Formal Afternoon Tea. Its classic look makes it a timeless choice for any lady’s wardrobe.
