ABSTRACT
The fullness can be distributed effectively over a given area by means of gathering, which enhances the garment appearance. Gathers can be noticed at the waistline, neckline, yoke line and upper and lower edge of the sleeve in the case of children’s and ladies garment. In general, gathering requires twice the amount of fabric as that of the waist circumference measurement (Chuter 1995). The different ways in which gathering can be done are mentioned below.
