How to Identify Different Pleating Styles

When it comes to understanding the different types of pleats that are available, there is a lot of miscommunication. People often ask for the incorrect type of pleat  or they ask “How much does it cost for a basic pleat?” From the standpoint of a pleater, that would be like someone walking into a supermarket and asking “How much does it cost for basic food?”  I’m sure you can imagine how that question could turn into quite a lengthy discussion

So if you want to understand the basic principles that will help you identify and classify the majority of pleated garments,  I recommend you read the following four blog posts in order:

1. The ABC’s of Pleating
