Pleat

A pleat is a type of fold that is created in fabric or other flexible materials by folding a section of the material over itself and then pressing or stitching it in place. Pleats are often used in clothing, particularly in skirts and pants, to add volume and texture to the fabric while still allowing it to drape gracefully. #pleat
