WHAT DOES SHIRRING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

shirring

Shirring

In sewing, shirring is two or more rows of gathers used to decorate parts of garments, usually the sleeves, bodice or yoke. The term is also sometimes used to refer to the pleats seen in stage curtains. Shirring is a method of shaping a garment and is done so by controlling fullness. Its technique is similar to gathering. Shirring consists of two or more rows of gathered fabric. Shirring can be a pretty and feminine alternative to darts in small areas of a garment. Shirring can also be done on large areas of a garment like all around the top of a full skirt. Shirring works best on soft fabrics but can also done on stronger fabrics.
