Boxed knife pleats!?

[RockyR]

The pleats pictured are VERY SIMILAR to Rolled Pleats. As far as I know, they are called "Stacked Pleats". That's the kind of pleats that Kelly and I did for the "Madonna Kilts" for her re-invention tour. They swing well on BOTH directions which is what she needed on stage in a dancing routine.

The difference between "Stacked and Rolled" is how many times you roll over the fabric.

Here's a link that describes the different types of pleats :

This link has a GREAT explanation of a way to make a box pleats with DEEP PLEATS for improved swing! Matt... may be worth a shot trying to make an 8 yard box pleated kitl!
