  7. Dear Vani, thanks to your step-by-step tutorial i now know how to do canadian smocking. I just love the 2-braid design and would like to incorporate into a blouse. The problem is how to calculate to the right amount of fabric.

    Normally i need 2 1/2 metre of 45inch fabric to make a blouse. How much do i need to make a blouse with this smocked cuffs

    and shoulder (front view)
    http://www.allyfashion.com/store/23767-thickbox/ot0042-20s.jpg - i know this one is not smocked but i tried to find suitable example but to no avail. However i would like to smocked the shoulder part up until it near the pocket level

    as for back view this is of nice length

    i don't want the smocked part to be separate as i love the pleated effect on the bodice just like the cuff.

    I also think 1 inch braid is nice but in youe experience, what's is the suitable size for a blouse?

    Any help and advice is appreciated.
