Accordion Pleats

Accordion pleats are fabric which is folded alternately in and out with even spaces between the parallel folds, creating projecting pleats that resemble the bellows of an accordion in action and appearance. There are two types of accordion pleats:

1. Hand-formed Accordion Pleats: The folds are spaces at least a 1/2 inch apart, marked, formed and steam pressed by hand.
2. Mini-accordion Pleating: The folds are spaced no more than an 1/8 inch apart, mechanically formed on a smocking pleater.
