Godet

A godet is often used in skirts and dresses with a similar purpose to that of a gusset. It creates extra space at the bottom of garments so walking is possible!

Godets are the triangular pieces seen here.

This short skirt contains many godets to create shape and volume as well as movement. While underlayers do help to keep the fabric in place, godets alone can create a fanned out effect.
