Description

A fabric that has been treated to form puckers or crinkles. Plissé is generally made from Cotton that is treated with caustic solutions to shrink a portion of the cloth. The pattern is often formed in lengthwise patterns to form a seersucker like effect. The puckering is permanent until the fabric is ironed. Plissé can also be made with other fabrics, such as Polyester, Rayon and Acetate.
