A method of manufacturing a pleated product capable of partially pleating a fabric so that boundaries between pleat portions and non-pleat portions can be conspicuous and a fabric for the pleated product used for the method. In this method, a part of the fabric for the pleated product (1) in which one of warp (2) and weft (3) is formed of easy-to-pleat yarn and the other formed of hard-to-pleat yarn is folded along a folding line (4) tilted relative to the warp (2) and the weft (3), the fabric (1) is pleated up to the folding line (4) in the passing direction of the warp (2) or the weft (3), and the fabric (1) is unfolded and washed. Effective pleats are formed only in the passing direction of the easy-to-pleat yarn on a plane on one side of the folded portion and not formed in the passing direction of the hard-to-pleat yarn on a plane on the other side of the folded portion. The pleats in the passing direction of the hard-to-pleat yarn are eliminated by a washing step to form a non-pleat portion (5b), and the pleats formed on the passing direction of the easy-to-pleat yarn form a pleat portion (5a) in which the pleat lines are firmly shaped up to the folding line. |
