Pleated Dancing Sleeves

Cheryl, our client in Clearwater, Florida, is a ballroom dancer. She recently contacted us requesting wings for an upcoming dance showcase. This would be a challenge for us as we had  to create something dramatic,  yet simple enough to change in and out of. For the fabric we chose a black poly chiffon since we knew that these sleeves would be on the road and would get quite a bit of use. This pleated sunburst accordion scarf, with an insert for her arms, was the result of this challenge.
