Glossary: Pintucks
Christian Dior, Haute Couture, AW14, Paris.
Pintucks are a versatile textile detail that can be used in different ways to add texture to garments. They are created by folding the fabric and sewing only 1-2mm from the folded edge. Once the fabric is opened flat, this creates a tiny ridge on the surface of the garment. They are often used in multiple rows and at different widths to create different directional effects.
