All 13 Pleating Styles
Every technique is heat-set permanently in our workshop. Browse all styles and find the perfect pleat for your collection.
Knife Pleats
Uniform parallel folds all facing one direction. Clean, structured, and the most versatile pleat style for dresses, skirts and tops.
Box Pleats
Two knife pleats facing away from each other, forming a flat panel between. Adds volume while maintaining a polished look.
Accordion Pleats
Narrow, even folds that stretch and flow like a musical accordion. The signature designer-inspired pleat — lightweight and body-friendly.
Large Crystal Pleats
Ultra-fine micro-pleats creating a shimmering, crystalline surface texture. Catches light beautifully for evening and formal wear.
Sunray Pleats
Folds radiating outward from a central point like rays of sun. Creates dramatic fan effects on skirts and dresses.
Chevron Pleats
Angled V-shaped folds that shift direction for a dynamic, flowing surface. Adds movement and visual interest to any garment.
Mushroom Pleats
Three-dimensional dome-shaped folds that create a sculptural, organic surface. A signature statement technique.
Rhomboid Pleats
Geometric diamond-shaped pleats with angular, tessellated patterns. Creates a bold architectural effect on the garment surface.
Corn Pleats
Fine, densely packed ridges with a crisp, corn-like vertical texture. Adds subtle structure without overwhelming the silhouette.
Geometric Pleats
Angular, mathematically precise folds forming geometric patterns — triangles, diamonds, and hexagons on fabric.
Fish-scale Pleats
Overlapping fold formations resembling layered fish scales. Creates an organic, nature-inspired surface texture.
Custom Embroidered Pleats
Pleats combined with embroidery detailing for a personalized, crafted finish. Your design embroidered directly onto pleated fabric.
Bubble Pleats
Softball-like domed pleats creating airy, bouncy volume in lightweight fabric. A playful, dimensional texture.
