Godet (sewing)

A godet (/ɡoʊˈdeɪ/ or /ɡoʊˈdɛt/)^[1] is an extra piece of fabric in the shape of a circular sector which is set into a garment, usually a dress or skirt.^[2] The addition of a godet causes the article of clothing in question to flare, thus adding width and volume. The most popular use of godets is in petticoats. ^[3] Adding a godet to a piece of clothing also gives the wearer a wider range of motion.^[4]
