pleated skirt

Creased fabric bottom

A pleated skirt is a skirt with permanent folds of fabric that create fullness and movement.

The pleats may be pressed flat (knife pleats) or arranged in opposing pairs (box pleats).

Pleated skirts appear in school uniforms, tennis wear, and traditional Scottish kilts: She twirled and the pleated skirt fanned out around her.
