Ciment Pleaters...

Ciment pleaters came in today to show us the art of pleating. 

Ciment is a long established company, with years of heritage. and have been for many years the provider of pleating service to everyone from royalty to Lady Gaga to students looking to explore the process in their creative en-devours. 



Below some examples of the types of pleats available, standard and more complex structures.




To pleat fabric, the said fabric undergoes a process which involves being held between folded paper (with the design) and then rolled and placed into a large steam oven to to heat mould the shape. 

some fabrics work better than others, Polyester is one of the most hard wearing whereas pleats fall out of cotton easily. anything that can be placed and folded between the folded paper can be pleated.
