Word origin
The term 'pleated' derives from the Middle English word 'plet' which means 'to fold'. This origin can be traced back even further to the Old French 'plie', from the verb 'plier', which means 'to bend or fold'. The practice of pleating fabric dates back to ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians, who utilized pleating in their garments to enhance both functionality and style. In the 16th century, pleats became more popular in European fashion, particularly with the introduction of tailored garments that featured decorative and functional folds. As fashion evolved, pleating techniques continued to develop, leading to diverse applications in modern clothing design. Today, pleating remains a significant technique in fashion, celebrated for its ability to combine practicality with elegance.
