What is Pintuck Fabric?
- Pintucks are added to the fabric to give a texture to the fabric by adding it in different ways.
- They are often used in multiple rows and at different widths to create different directional effects.
- It is created by folding 1-2mm and sewing the fabric from the edges.
- It is done to decorate the fabric surface by this technique, but no functional use.
- Mostly done on light-weighted fabrics, as it looks great on such fabric than on the heavier ones.
History
- Tucks, made easy with the invention of the sewing machine, were very popular as ornamentation in the latter half of the 19th century, especially in fine linen or cotton fabric for chemisettes, engagements, blouses, lingerie, summer dresses, and children's garments.
- Tucks were also used to decorate heavier fabrics: a traveling suit of "rough cheviot" (sturdy wool) is described as having its skirt "tucked, each tuck two inches wide and two inches apart, eight tucks in all, box-pleating at the bottom".
