The seven classics
Start with these: accordion, knife, box, sunburst, crystal, fluted, plissé. They cover most fashion applications.
Dimensional and sculptural
Organ pleats, fluted pleats, mushroom pleats, and honeycomb smocking create three-dimensional, light-catching textures.
Historical and specialty
Cartridge pleats (gauging), kingussie pleats (Scottish), goblet pleats (drapery), pinch pleats, and box-within-box pleats are specialist techniques used in historical costume, interiors, and theatrical work.
Micro and technical
Micro pleats, crystal pleats, and plissé finishes push pleating into the realm of surface design and technical textiles.
Bespoke patterns
Beyond the catalog, Slim Plissage develops bespoke patterns with custom molds for designers who want something unique. This is where 35 years of craftsmanship really shines.
