The term 'plisse' originates from the French words 'FOLD' or 'PLEAT' and it describes the crinkled appearance of the material. The pleats are typically irregular but generally run parallel. Although various fabrics can be manually pleated or folded to achieve a pleated look, 'plisse' traditionally refers to chemically treated fabric with a crinkled texture.
Knitted plisse is created by interlocking fabric yarns to form symmetrical loops known as blights. These blights provide knitted plisse fabric with increased elasticity.
