Abstract (en)
A method of pleating a garment, wherein an unfinished garment, generally prepared by sewing cut material together, is pleated in a particular direction in a random or pseudo-random manner to produce a set of non-continuous pleats that include pleated and non-pleated portions of random length. The garment optionally may be pleated again, but in a different direction (e.g., in a direction perpendicular to the first set of pleats), to produce continuous or, alternatively, non-continuous pleats, wherein the second set of non-continuous pleats also includes pleated and non-pleated portions of random length. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
