I am aware of three different pleat styles:

1. Accordion pleats.

2. Box pleats.

3. Knife pleats.

Off the top of my head, I can add pegged skirts to the list of 21.

One thing I think is as important as style is length. This has seen a bit of discussion in other threads.

And what, pray tell, is a "pegged skirt"? One that is bought "off the peg"?

Pegged skirt...

Imagine a straight skirt, but up towards the top the material bulges outwards.

Could you give us a picture of said skirt? I just can't get a picture in my mind..

Imagine a pencil skirt for somebody with curves.

Fred, just imagine the old, old-fashioned wooden peg with the big bulb at the top.

Skirtcafe is certainly useful and educational.
For example, I had never heard of godet skirt.
