Bias details may be done on the straight grain of the same or contrasting fabric, or omitted altogether. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shirtwaist and the scallop front version are featured in \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/making-the-front-placket-for-the-216-schoolmistress-shirtwaist\"\u003ethis detailed how-to blog post\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it with the sweeping seven-gore \u003cstrong\u003eSkirt\u003c\/strong\u003e.
