a sort of pleat, but you don't press it flat. Hmm, it sort of tuckkers the material of the piece of clothing together. this is harder to explain than I thought.

A means of distributing fullness in some part of a garment by sewing a loose row of stitches, pulling the thread, and sliding the fabric along the thread to make soft folds in order to decrease the width of the fabric.
In shirring three or more rows of gathers are placed parallel lines to achieve a decorative effect while also manipulating fullness.

Gathers are like pleats but not defined, using a basting stitch, then pull to gather.
