Same. (But now I'm trying to figure out how long people have been able to do that type of pleating...)

From the internet: Pleats are far older than expected by most of the people. Already in ancient Egypt textiles were pleated for decorating dresses of the rulers. Since a permanent pleating of natural fibers was very complicated and only possible while using expensive aids, they stayed more or less a luxury until the invention of synthetic fabrics.

Numerous portrait paintings from the history of mankind give evidence of this rather royal fashion. The famous pleat collar of Mary Stuart and plenty of other medieval celebrities are true masterpieces of the textile handicrafts at this time. Also less filigree pleated clothes such as the Scottish kilts or the traditional fustanella of the Greek freedom fighters can sometimes be seen at special events even nowadays.

The ancient Egyptians did that sort of pleating.

Accordion pleating is what I know it as.
