Inspiration: Horizontal pleats

Inspiration comes and goes, and while I always have at least a dozen ideas of garments in my head, the ones I focus on the most (and eventually get to make) change constantly.
Right now, I really want something with horizontal pleats, which could be a recreation of the Ver-dance With Me top from Modcloth or a Pastille dress from Colette. We'll see!

Claudia Skirt Pattern

p.s. A little update on the Chloe pattern: I wrote I had some fit issues in the armscye area and Kristiann from Victory Patterns was kind enough to let me know that the sleeveless version of the pattern does have a low armscye (it becomes higher if you put the sleeve in... I hope it makes sense). Keep it in mind if you're thinking to tackle this pattern.
