Folds in clothing refer to the PLEATS that are created when fabric is folded and pressed in a certain way. PLEATS are commonly used in garments such as skirts, trousers, and shirts to create a more tailored look. They can also be used to add volume and texture to a garment. PLEATS are created by folding the fabric in a specific pattern and then pressing it with an iron. The type of pleat used depends on the desired effect and the type of fabric being used.
