banana republic burgundy dress Maxi Petite XS Banana Republic + Aurelia Satin

What changes gather ratio in real production Fabric weight: heavier fabric needs lower ratio Fabric friction: grippy cotton gathers differently than satin Stitch choice: two-row gathering stitch vs elastic thread Seam allowance: bigger allowance adds bulk and stiffness The gather methods I choose and why Two-row gathering stitch: clean control, best for woven viscose and cotton Elastic thread at seam: faster, more comfort, but harder to keep consistent Ruffle foot / attachment: fast, but quality depends on operator skill A tech pack mini table I often include Which fabrics work best for a tiered A-line dress

If a big, frilly bridal gown isnt your thing, thats OK

I bought it for a Roaring 20s party on a cruise
