      Creases in Clothing

      Creases are an important element in clothing, adding depth and contour. Here, we look at

       typical types of creases and the areas that wrinkle easily.

      Types of creases

      Pulled creases

      A straight crease formed by the fabric being pulled in one

       direction. These kinds of folds form easily around areas such as

       the armholes and the sleeves when the arms are raised, under

       women’s breasts and around the waist when the body is twisted.

      Gathered creases

      These are formed when the fabric gathers in one spot. They form

       easily around the top of sleeves, around the arms and knees when

       bent and on sleeves that are rolled up.

      Draped creases

      These creases are created when fabric is pulled down by the force

       of gravity. They form on clothing where the hem and wristbands

       are drawn in, such as on a sweater, as well as on clothing that has

       a natural drape to it.

      Hollow creases

      These are a type of gathered crease that forms when the fabric

       gathers in one place and part of it forms a hollow. They’re

       typically found in places where the fabric gathers easily, such as

       around the elbows and knees, in conjunction with gathered

       creases. Adding shadow in the center gives them dimension.

      Main places where creases form

      Shoulders

      Gathered creases form below the

       shoulders, toward the armpit in the

       sleeve and torso sections of the clothing.

       When the arm is raised or extended, a

       pulled crease forms from the sleeve

       toward the shoulder.

      Chests

      If wearing a cut-and-sewn top, camisole

       or other style of top where the hem

       hangs freely, pulled creases will form

       under the bust, with the fullest part of

       the bust as the pivot point.

      Waists

      Gathered creases form around the

       narrowing of the waist, with soft draped

       creases forming that join at both sides of

       the waist. They form readily on clothes

       for women with small waists.

      Elbows

      Bending the elbow creates gathered

       creases and hollow creases along the

       inner side. On the outer side, the bone

       pulls the fabric taut so that no wrinkles

       are formed and a straight line is created.

      Crotches

      Gathered creases form at the top of the

       crotch, radiating out toward the hips. The

       way the creases form depends greatly on

       the thickness of the fabric, with relatively

       thick denim creating large irregular creases.

      Knees

      On long pants, gathered creases and

       hollow creases form around the knees on

       someone standing straight. The fabric

       gathers to such an extent that it makes

       the outline around the knees uneven.

      Cuffs

      On items with sleeves that narrow at the

       wrists, such as shirts and other items with

       cuffs, the fabric gathers at the top of the

       cuff to form draped creases. As the fabric

       is loose, the area around the cuff looks

       slightly puffy.

      Hems

      The hems of pants touch the tops of the

       feet, causing the fabric to bunch and form

       both gathered and hollow creases. As

       gravity draws the fabric down, large

       wrinkles form regardless of the thickness

       of the fabric.

      Buttons

      Faint pulled creases form on either side

       of buttoned-up fabric. The creases are

       most significant on the side on top (for

       example, the buttonhole side).
