How it's used
Primarily used in the context of sewing and fashion design, this term describes the specific technique of folding fabric to create decorative patterns or volume. It is distinct from general wrinkling, as it implies a deliberate, structured process rather than accidental creasing. When referring to the resulting style, it is common to describe clothing as有打褶.
Examples
The pleats on this skirt are beautiful, where did you buy it?
Please pleat the fabric for me to make a ruffled edge.
