Garments with two-way pleated elements and methods for manufacturing thereof

1. A method for manufacturing of a garment, the method comprising:

obtaining a pattern of the garment, wherein the pattern accounts for one or more pleated elements;

cutting at least one fabric according to the pattern into a plurality of fabric pieces;

attaching the plurality of fabric pieces together to create a single, unfinished garment; and

forming a final garment by pleating a first portion of the unfinished garment to create at least one one-way pleated element and pleating a second portion of the unfinished garment to create at least one two-way pleated element, wherein the at least one one-way pleated element and the at least one two-way pleated element are created in a single pleating operation without overlapping each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein pleats of the at least one one-way pleated element and pleats of the at least one two-way pleated element are created without securing the pleats in place.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pleating operation is performed only after the attachment of the plurality of fabric pieces into the unfinished garment.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising attaching one or more additional fabric pieces to the final garment after the pleating operation.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pleating of the entire unfinished garment includes:

stacking the entire unfinished garment on a shaped paper;

folding the shaped paper together with the entire unfinished garment;

heating the shaped paper with the entire unfinished garment in a heater; and

separating the entire unfinished garment from the shaped paper after the heating operation.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the heating includes heating in a steam box during a predetermined period being in a range from about 20 minutes to about 40 minutes and at a predetermined temperature being in a range from about 180 F to about 200 F.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the heating includes compressing the shaped paper together with the entire unfinished garment by a press during a predetermined period being in a range from about 1 minute to about 2 minutes and at a predetermined temperature being in a range from about 420 F to about 400 F.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coloring of the final garment.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the coloring is performed during the pleating operation.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the coloring is performed after the pleating operation is fully completed.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the coloring includes performing sublimation of at least one dye by attaching one or more pieces of dye sublimation heat transfer paper to the final garment, and compressing the one or more pieces of dye sublimation heat transfer paper with the final garment in a press.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising attaching a paper form of a predetermined shape to the final garment before the compressing, wherein the paper form facilitates creating a predetermined silhouette of the final garment.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the coloring includes performing sublimation of at least one dye by attaching one or more pieces of dye sublimation heat transfer paper to the unfinished garment, and compressing the one or more pieces of dye sublimation heat transfer paper with the unfinished garment in a press.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising attaching a paper form of a predetermined shape to the unfinished garment before the compressing, wherein the paper form facilitates creating a predetermined silhouette of the final garment.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one one-way pleated element includes a fragment of the final garment, which is pleated in a repeated manner with pleats being substantially parallel to each other.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one two-way pleated element includes a fragment of the final garment, which is pleated in a repeated manner with first pleats being substantially parallel to each other and directed in a first direction and second pleats being substantially parallel to each other and directed in a second direction.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one two-way pleated element includes a fragment of the final garment having zigzag pleats, basket pleats, or pyramid pleats.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one two-way pleated element is connected to the at least one one-way pleated element without breaking a period of pleating.
