I just got mine back from Ciment and I couldn't be happier! Sooooo glad I trusted these guys to do it right...just looking at all the folds in that cardboard...good grief LOL :D Keep up the good work, guys (and gals)!
I could watch your videos all day! Fascinating processes involved. I was wondering about your steam box, if you could share where you bought it from or by whom you got it made; and if its similar to the steam box used in bending wood so that -as a last resort- I can try to get it custom made. Thank you for sharing your craft!
Hi Hanon. it's just a water tank at the bottom with an immersion heater element in. The element heats the water to 100 degrees C and fills the cabinet.
What an amazing skill! I learned of you from Kim Davies video and am completely enamored! I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole and am watching all of your videos now. Is the black backing a woven cotton fusible interfacing or a specialty backing that you’ve had made?
@@cimentpleating5672 That is still an arduous process, considering how easy it would be to mimic the look. It's wonderful to see craftsmanship is still alive.
@@cimentpleating5672 May I ask how often the cardboard molds are remade or how long they last?? Absolutely fascinating. I know things have lightened up a bit down South with Covid restrictions, but do you do any tours of your facility? I don't get to London often but I'd love to stop by when I next go...

Здравствуйте ! Скажите пожалуйста как устроен шкаф для тепловой обработки плиссировки ??? Спасибо!
Amazing work. Real craftsmanship.
I'm curious : does the paper get wet in the steamer ?
Sometimes when the air temperature outside is very cold. Most of the time it stays dry though.
woow
Do you put anything on the fabric to help it keep its mold or do you just steam it?
No just steam.
What do you do if you get a 'pleat fail' in the middle of the length? How do you salvage it or is the whole piece a write off? Cheers.
We would have to start again. On most fabrics, this is just ironing it out, but in some cases, this isn't possible.
Please write to us what kind of cardboard is used in this process?... What is its name?
Which type of paper we use paper ???
I want to buy these fashions, how can I buy from you please tell me
what was the fabric content of the cape?
The original was paper silk
And this process is repeated for each panel in succession? If you only have the one mold it must take WEEKS to do this!
Not quite. We have around 6 patterns and can probably do around 15 a day.

Just a question is that a food grade steaming cabinet?
No it's only for fabric😁
