In this way the pleats may be adjusted to any position desired.

In sewing on the pleats they should be eased on over the prominences of the figure and kept short at the hollows. Sometimes the pleats are made narrower at waist than breast.
As a general rule there are two or three pleats placed down the back and one down each forepart going over the dart.
When yokes are placed at the shoulders the pleats start from the bottom of these.
