Are you sure you don't mean "cartridge pleats"? I'll bet that's what they need.
I can't tell you how to make them, but why not do a search for that phrase instead? You might have better luck.

Looking for information on "Carriage Pleats" these were used on Vintage Clothing. DIL is working with a local theatre group and needs to get some information. I used to have a threads book with a photo on the back cover but got rid of them all......oh well, am hopeing someone will remember this style.
Cartridge is correct. You form them by making matching rows of gathers, like giant smocking rows. There are plenty of places on the net to tell you how to do it. The re-enactors use them a lot.

I googled on 'carriage pleated' (and 'carriage pleat' and 'carriage pleats', but 'carriage pleated' is the only one that had any results that had anything to do with fashion), and found this image:
Looks like even gathering to me.

Called the co-ordinator,and she said they are difinately Carriage Pleats. Something that appeared on 30's and 40's womens dresses at shoulder lines and yokes. . I know what Cartridge pleats are and have done loads of them for Elizabethan costuming. This is something entirely different according to her. We wll find out Monday. thanks for the replies.
Yes, I can see these on the sleeve of a vintage garment and also the yoke. It would give a full sleeve the ability to attach to the arm hole and would give lots of fullness to a yoke. Kewl, thanks very much.

A new one on me, but always willing to learn! Thanks! :)
But perhaps with a higher ratio of flat to gather than normal?
This is a new one to me, too. You learn something every day, if you pay attention!
