THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Describe the finished ruffle's visible depth, gathering appearance and position on the garment. Use a physical reference or marked sample to compare fullness. Do not assume a fabric strip ratio alone will produce the same appearance in every material.
The decision behind the detail.
Material stiffness and layer arrangement affect how a ruffle sits. Compare the complete sample when changing fabric or the number of layers.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Visible depth
- Record the finished edge-to-seam depth to review.
- Fullness reference
- Identify the sample or image showing the intended gathering.
- Placement
- Mark where the ruffle starts, ends and joins.
Check together
- Compare fullness at the same garment size.
- Review both laid-flat and arranged appearances.
- Check that gathering is distributed as agreed.
