kilting
Creating vertical pleats
Kilting refers to the arrangement of deep, narrow, evenly spaced pleats in fabric, characteristic of traditional Scottish kilts.
The technique creates a distinctive accordion-like fold pattern: The kilting on her skirt gave it a crisp, tailored look.
As a verb form, kilting describes the act of creating such pleats or wearing a kilt.
