Everything You Should Know About Pleats

Pleated skirts are stylish for any occasion. Pleats are folds of fabric that are stitched either at the top or bottom and sometimes both. The stitching holds the fabric in place to give off a specific look that pleated skirts provide.
Clothes are not the only instance where you will see pleats. Sometimes the pleated fabric is used for the corners of a couch and the top of curtains. Pleats add a fun sense of style.
There are flat pleats, soft pleats, and open pleats. Flat pleats, also known as knife pleats, are most commonly used around the waistband of skirts. These are handmade pleats that are firmly pressed and all facing one direction.
