Tucks are folds stitched into fabric or a garment. Typically, several parallel folds are added to a garment to reduce bulk or add decoration.
Tucks are shaping devices in dresses, skirts, and shirt fronts. They can be big and bold or small and delicate. When making tucks, the right side of the fabric faces up, and the tucks are sewn on the straight grain of the fabric.
