Tucks in Clothing Construction

Tucks are folds in fabric used to shape and fit garments to the wearer's body.

Types of Tucks

Blind Tucks: Characterized by invisible stitching on the right side of the fabric.
Dart Tucks: Provide shaping and fitting in garments, particularly in areas that require contouring, such as the bust and sleeves.
Spaced Tucks: Differ from pin tucks in that they are spaced evenly apart, whereas pin tucks are closely spaced.
Pin Tucks: Closely spaced, small tucks used to add texture and interest to a garment.
Cross Tucks: Characterized by tucks that intersect each other, creating a grid-like pattern.

Tuck Placement

Blind Tucks: Usually stitched on the wrong side of the fabric, making them invisible from the outside.
