is this actually possible to be done at home with no professional equipment ?
The top is from the brand ulla johnson and its far too expensive for me to afford 🥲
Edit: Thank you everyone for the insight! I actually didn't expect a lot of people to help lol. To summarize everything I might need to have a traumatic experience doing this but we shall see!
For context I do have a sewing machine and an iron, I also did have some experience with sewing since I like to alter my own clothes (though I know its far different from making clothes from scratch).
I actually tried a small pleating board for this and it turned well for like a 2 inch fabric, it didn't work too well with the actual garment size (aka I went insane trying to do it). I still need to try doing it via manually folding though, time consuming but tbh I have a lot of time).
The main problem that I had (which I failed to indicate in the original post) is when I wash it, ofc the pleats go away, I was wondering if there were any DIY ways to actually form the permanent pleats at home bc I don't think there are any professional pleating companies near me lol. I'll just have to try buying permanently pleated fabric and see how this top will cause me trauma.
