[...] Ainsi, la partie traitée rétrécit, tandis que l'autre non traitée reste intacte. L'armure est généralement unie. La caractéristique principale de ce tissu est son apparence plissée ou froissée. Selon l'effet désiré, le tissu soumis à ce traitement présente des rayures ou des surfaces irrégulières.
