The making of this pleated skirt involves calendering, pleating, modeling, etc. The calendering makes the fabric glossy and abrasion-resistant. When making the pleats, the crafter would wet the fabric first and then fold pleats with the same width and in-between space starting from one end to another and finally place the folded fabric beneath something heavy to keep the pleats in shape.
