The most difficult part of sewing this garment was making sure all the panels line up and making sure the pleats are sewn at the right measurement. If a pleat is sewn too big or too small, it'll throw off the whole fit of the garment. One thing I didn't take into consideration was the fact that embroidering the straps made them a little smaller. At first I thought this would ruin my whole design, but once I got all the straps laid out, I saw that they only shrunk by 1/8" and still fit!
