@thehenryford museum's #FabricofAmerica exhibit also highlighted the craftsmanship and technological advancement of fabric throughout history, for example with pleating. These two pieces of fabric from 2018 were made by Tom's Sons International Pleating, a textile company still

i loved mon mothma’s dress in andor so much i made one for myself, mostly hand-pleating the fabric and handsewing it all together

Pleating is hard

Had there been a world championship in pleating competition in the #1840s then I would propose this unknown maker as a contender. The colour might be vivid but it is the manipulation of the silk that is so striking #ksumuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

No mistaking the #Fortuny Delphos; it's a miracle in pleating! #Frockingfabulous 1930's #Fashionhistory via Kerry Taylor Auctions.

This whole thread is special pleating.
Been seeing a lot of tweets about whether pleats are back. Are they "in" or "out?" Are they modern or old?

Personally don't like this line of thinking, as it's driven by ready-to-wear trends, which forces you to update your wardrobe every decade. Let me give you another way to think about pleats. 🧵

WHAT: Dior (couture, fall 2026)

OCCASIONS: insouciantly popping a lobster puff into your mouth before saying, “Go to Hell, Clive,” or Lady-of-the-Lake-ing

IF IT WERE A SCENT: lipstick, cigarettes, mint, & valet ticket—packed in a beaded clutch

EMOTIONAL RANGE: careless/dazzling

Soft minty green figured silk coupled with edible looking buttons make for a delicious wedding dress from 1850. Fan pleating and double piping just two of the exquisite details @ngvmelbourne.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This week's #ThirtiesThursday garment is Chanel's lemon yellow silk crêpe dress and scarf ensemble from S/S 1930. The simple silhouette is transformed via the vertical pleating and shirring embellishment on the bodice. LACMA collection. #fashionhistory

LOOK at that pleating!
This remarkably preserved pleated linen tunic, with laced neck, lay undisturbed in a tomb for almost 4,500 years. It was uncovered in the early 20th century excavations of Ernesto Schiaparelli

I'm kind of having a rough time drawing due to stress, so I drew a quickie of my faves in case that would help. I miss them 😭 #dorohedoro

I guess that's a really efficient way to make 'dumplings'. You just make a single giant one and skip all the pleating.

i am pleating with you don’t give up

This is probably my favorite dress of the thread. It’s wild that it’s as early as 1885–the pleating and ruffles are just so ethereal, and the pale colors and floral details absolutely magical.
7—Liberty of London arrived on scene at just the right time, offering options for both reform & aesthetic-minded folk: undyed, draping fabrics, as well as more ostentatious prints, textures, & fabrics. Suddenly, the niche movement went capitalist. Also this 1885 GOWN is so pretty it hurts. 🥹

#FridayFrocks #Pleating – A dress, c.1845–55 of silk satin. The full skirt is cartridge-pleated to the boned bodice which allows the large volume of fabric to be incorporated neatly into the waistband.
