Skirt pleat
A pleat should hang closed until you walk. The rest of the note is how we do that in the studio.
The pleat opens with a step. If it is already open when you stand, the cloth is pulling. A heavy iron on the face of a pleat leaves a shine. The edge is the only line that needs it.
Open pleats at rest mean the hip is tight.

Skirt pleat is a note from the studio, not a rule for every house. The pieces in this edit were finished with this habit in mind.
If a piece you have does not match the note, send a question with the name of the piece. The reply is more useful than a general rule.
An inquiry is the way to ask. Nothing on this page is a charge.
Keep the habit small enough that it happens. That is the care these pieces were made for.
