Pleat Styles Pinch Pleat and Goblet Pleat

Pinch pleats, also known as French pleats are shown on the left. Goblet pleats are created in the shape of a champagne flute. Goblet pleat style is best for fabrics that are either light-medium in weight. (Sometimes we also pleat thick fabrics in goblet pleats to look authentically English. The fabric must be pliable enough to create the shape.)
