godet
Triangular fabric piece
A godet is a triangular piece of fabric inserted into a garment to add fullness or flare, typically at the hem of a skirt or dress.
Godets create movement and shape without adding bulk at the waist or hips: The evening gown featured silk godets that swirled when she walked.
The term comes from dressmaking and appears in sewing patterns and fashion descriptions.
