Took me seeing a thrifted dress in Seattle to finally get pleats right
I watched a woman walk by Pike Place Market in this cheap 90s pleated skirt that moved like liquid. It hit me that I was overthinking my own designs with too many seams and not enough fabric flow. Has anyone else had a random street sighting change how they approach a pattern?

Saw a guy in Brooklyn once wearing this oversized men's blazer with the sleeves pushed up just so. It looked like it cost a fortune but was probably a thrift find. Made me think about how much fabric can do the work for you if you let it hang right. Sometimes less seams really is more.

Oh man, that's such a good observation. It's like the best style comes from clothes that already have a story, not ones that are trying too hard.
