Free CLO3D/MD Project: Elastic Gathered Ruffles (My Dress Patterns)
Original title: Ruffles In CLO3D and Marvelous Designer
Overview
My Dress Patterns offers a free ruffle project file that accompanies a tutorial on making ruffles in CLO3D and Marvelous Designer. It walks through single-edge and double-edge gathered ruffles: sewing the strips on, adding elastic to create the gathers, subdividing the mesh, and tuning fabric properties and fold angle so the gathers look realistic.
The file is a .zprj created in CLO3D that also opens in Marvelous Designer, shared as a direct Dropbox download with no signup or payment. It is a practical study piece for anyone adding ruffled trims, hems or sleeves to their garments.
