Creating a Box Pleat

In my recent pattern cutting lesson I have been looking into different functions of a skirt: Zips, Pleats and Button holes. Today we looked at a Box Pleat.
To manufacture a Box Pleat we drew up our patterns (a basic A line pattern.)
I then put in a Box Pleat and ironed the pleat so it would stay in shape.
We only created the front of the skirt as it was just a sample but it shows the overall effect of the Box Pleat. This adaptaion is very effective and I would consider usinf this effect in future.
