Gertie, have you ever made this pattern using double-gauze? I see it is listed as a "flowy" fabric choice. Just wondered about the result.
I have been a Patreon member since December 2020 and I never used to watch the videos but now here I am watching them because 1) they are so darn helpful in figuring out these pleats! and 2) I really do just love listening to Gertie explain the process of making the garment.
