Reply To: Simplicity Pattern 2444 Pleat – Center Front Seam Issue

Do the front seam first at the 5/8″.  Yes, you are correct that the top of the pleat line falls within seam line but it’s fine.  After you’ve stitched the center front seam, then create the center pleats the best you can using the line that ‘s remaining as a guide.   Once you do it, you’ll see that it works out.  I’d love to see a picture of your dress when you finish. 🙂
