Bishop Dress Plates
Eight plates for the classic bishop dress yoke, from a three row cable and wave band to a sampler with six rows. Each one is charted for a 41 pleat front and mirrored around a single center pleat. Bishop dresses are smocked across the front yoke and then gathered into the neck band, so the plates are wide and symmetrical. The collection costs $19 once, with no subscription, and arrives as a ZIP with eight print ready PDFs, eight SVG charts and a short read me.
