"Flipping" pleat

[kilty]

I was wondering if anyone has tried the sticky tape that you can buy made especially to stick cloth together. Could we just put one of these strips between the one or two pleats that keep curling. The pleats would stay together and the strips would not be visible.

What do you think?

Kilty,

I would advise against anything that sticks the pleats together and reduces their ability to move. It is Swish that you want.

My post is just to try to control a wayward Pleat and can be done very easily and only takes two or three minutes to do. It will not lessen the Swish.

Also, the sticky tape you mention is only temporary and will wear off in just a few washings leaving a sticky residue behind.

It's not that the pleats don't stay together. It's that the pleats are _pulled_ open.
