- How to Insert a Godet. A great way to add fullness to a garment, in particular skirts, is to add, into either a seam, slash or dart, a triangular shaped piece of fabric, referred to as a godet. Pronounced ‘Go-Day‘, a godet adds not only fullness, but gives a garment volume as well as extenuating movement

I absolutely love your tutorials. They're so well explained, and clear. It's hard to find instructions like this that even a beginner could follow. You take a task that seems overwhelming or impossible and turn it into something that I don't feel horribly under qualified to do. Thank you so much for making them and for giving hopes to new designers with big dreams!
Hello Karinina, Thank you for the compliment, and good luck with your big dreams as a designer.
💯 I like your tutoials
I love this video. Impeccable delivery, and a small sample 'garment' with contrasting colors so it's easy to see what you are doing - brilliant!
+Bonnie Kuhn Thank you!
It's a pleasure to know my tutorials are helping, thanks.
As an experienced sewer, I have forgotten many of the details of the techniques I've learned over the years. I'm so glad your video popped up when I googled How to sew a godet. I couldn't remember if I started from the top or the bottom, so THANK YOU for the reminder!
Happy to help. Thank you for your comment.
CGL's tutorials are the best! Always so clear and straight to the point, very concise. I cannot believe how easy she makes this look; I have been terrified to try godets for a long time, but now I think maybe I can handle it, thanks to this splendid little video. Thank you.
Thank you for such a great compliment Peggy. And for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much! You're an absolute favourite amongst us fashion students...much love!
sangita dias Thank you so much.
Exactly what I was looking for! Of course I didn’t realize that’s what they were called though.
I’ve done this before, but it’s been awhile so I needed to refresh my memory on how to make it correctly.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad I could help Barbara! Thanks for commenting.
Just over a year ago, I made a renfaire dress with some of these in them. I didn't know what they were called or how to do them, I just knew that I wanted them in my dress... it turned out okay under the 10 foot rule. Now that i'm adapting a pattern I already have for another costume, I figured I'd find out how to do these properly. This helped SO MUCH, I feel so much more confident and able to create the design and look I am truly looking for in my projects.
Hello Aphrames. Thanks for sharing your story, if you need more information about Godet I have three more video tutorials in my playlist here is the link czcams.com/video/4fHE6zsFAN4/video.html
I must have watched about 10 videos on how to do this before I got to yours, sorry to say, and all of them were at least twice as long as your video and left me no further along than I was before I watched them! Yours is brilliant, perfect instruction, and construction. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💜💜💜
Glad it helped, sew happy you enjoyed my tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I love your tutorials! Thank you so much for explaining how to do this in such an easy to understand way! I've subscribed so that I can look up your tutorials in the future! Great job!! I'm making a dress for a wedding and it just need a little extra flare. This will be perfect!! Happy sewing!!
Great video! I was having troubles inserting a godet and the book instructions weren't clear on how to draft it and neither it showed how to sew it!
Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to comment Diana Abarca.
Thank you so much. The size of the godet is personal choice. If you're considering adding one to a project, try a few tester pieces first to get it just right.
It will all depend on your sewing project or where you wish to place the godet. The size will be measured from that point onward.
Loved this tutorial I love godet and have never tried one. I will now thanks to you. ❤️💕
Thank you for commenting Doreen, I hope it goes well.
Beautifully and clearly explained. Thank you! 👏
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Yes there is. A gusset is an insertion of a small piece of fabric that gives more free movement, where a godet is used under the same principle but is also a decorative feature.
Thanks for your tutorial, as a beginner it's quite easy to understand and follow.
Thank you.
I LOVE your tutorials. They are so well done and easy to understand!
Thank you Linda J. O'May!😀
Thank you for the bottom of my heart
No problem TheUberDoll Thank you for commenting.
This was great. Thank you so much. I didn't even know what it was called, just copying an old skirt.
You're so welcome Elizabeth! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you !! It's been a long time since I've watched your video's. So glad I found you again.
Welcome back!
Beautifully presented, Colleen
Thank you kindly Ann!
It's like you're reading my mind... I just made a pencil skirt... I wanted to make a slit on the back like such but was not sure how to or even how to research it on line because I wasn't sure what the proper name was... Now I do Godet, you are the best thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing. Your tutorials are amazing.
Thanks for watching Alice, and for taking the time to comment!
Such a wonderful and simple explanation. Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for with my my skirt.
No problem Katana Ryo Thank you for commenting.
Thanks for excellent tutorial. Feel confident to do it now.
You can do it Lorraine, and good luck!
Love your teaching so simple and to the point...Thanks
Many thanks - with all the retro hems and waistlines I "wondered" how - brilliant tutorial (have bookmarked)
Thank you so much.
You greatly simplified this technique, and took away my fear. I intend to make myself a skirt with godets tomorrow. Thank you!
Happy to help Patricia. Good luck with the skirt.
I've never heard of this technique before. It's lovely and I'm definitely going to try it.
Let me know how it goes!
I love your tutorials thank you
Glad you like them Faizun! Sew happy you enjoyed the tutorial, and thanks for commenting.
Thank you for your clear, simple tutorial!
My pleasure. Thank you.
thank you so so much! I just had an idea of doing this to a skirt on a dress and had no idea what it was called or how on earth I'd go about it and your video popped up. it's amazingly well explained, easy to see what's going on and presented simply. You're amazing!
Thank you Katie.
I'm making making a medieval dress in two colors (front and back mint and side front and side back teal). If I have enough fabric I'm going to try to make a contrast panel hip down between the side center and side back and and the very back. The front is solid so I don't need to bother with that. it's been so long since I've done this I didn't even remember how any more. Thanks :)
PhantomQueenOne
Wow! Very easy to understand from your video. I've got a skirt idea in mind but I didn't know what the method I was thinking of was called. Evidently, it's called a godet!
Thank you for taking the time to comment Maureen Pavlik.
Just stumbled upon your videos and subscribed to the blog and the videos today! So helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Very clear tutorial. I have been looking for how to do this for a very long time. Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Im combining a wool skirt and a suede jacket to make a cape and this should look great because i wanted to keep the yolk on the back of the jacket!
You are so welcome! Sounds like an interesting project, good luck, sew happy you enjoyed the tutorial
Thanks so much for making this video. I have so much trouble with this type of insertion. I actually gave up on a beautiful Vogue pattern because I couldn't insert the 4 godets called for with any accuracy! I'm gonna pull it out and try again.
So many years I struggled with this. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the video. I have a material that is little short for width for my top. Adding a few inches with this method, I will be able to create my own top. Thanks so much showing how to add godet.
Sounds like a great idea Meera, good luck! Thanks for sharing and commenting.

Mobile hairdresser , New Images By Dori. Kelowna, B.C.
Thanks for letting me know Dori.
I love this video, Thank you so much
Glad I could be of help souad drissi!
I have been trying to make a kick pleat for my dresses but they never look right, messy. So now I am doing the godet and it is so much easier and looks much better. Thank you so much!
Wonderful to hear that you found my tutorial helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Try using a little bit of interfacing on the area where it puckers.
Thank you. This was extremely helpful.
No problem Lisa D. Thank you for commenting.
It all depends on how much flair you want in the godet. Do a test piece to get it right before adding it to the garment.
Thank you for the great tutorial. Concise and informative. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you Ryan and welcome to the community.
You are great, I like your tutorials, thanks a million!
Thank you SintraPT
Finally a video filmed up close so I can see what’s happening
Thanks Teresa, and for taking the time to comment.
Very good, I love your videos, you always show the answer to my every query regarding my sewing projects, and very well too, many thanks and keep posting 😊😊😊😊
Thank you.
I love your tutorials. Thank you!!!
Glad I could be of help Rene James! Thanks for commenting.
very helpful. Could you show how to insert a godet into a skirt panel when there isn't a seam. Essentially, where the fabric is slashed to a particular point, and then the godet extended from the top of the slash. Having a little difficulty at the top part. Thanks!
Aaagh this is just what I needed! Thank you Colleen!!!
You are so welcome! Sew happy you enjoyed my tutorial.
Fabulous! This is just what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Good luck and hope it all goes well.
It's the latter. Before you make the slash (cut) interface the wrong side of the fabric as this will ease any puckering. Maybe look at your stitch tension as well.
It's on the list, thanks.
i allways have trouble whit swing a godet and this tip it´s great. thank you for sare.
This was SOOOO helpful.., Thank you!.. I just subscribed to your ch.. cant wait to view more of your sewing videos.. You explain and demonstrate things perfectly and make it easy to understand everything👍😊🌷
Thank you Dianne Case!
Thank you for the tutorial/ Jeanette from Sweden💞
Thank you for commenting Jeanette.
God Bless you!💜💜💜
Thank you Lori.
Check out my video tutorial - 'Inserting a Godet into a Slash' as that should help solve your problem.
They certainly can be used as you say. It will add drama to your garment. Try doing a toile / muslin before hand so you know how it's going to look.
Thank i found this really clear and helpful
Glad I could be of help Hazel Warwick! Thanks for commenting.
thanks so much for this as I want to put this into some stretch material ans cut the godet as dancing flowers and cut them so
You are amazing!
Wow, thank you Linda! Thanks for commenting.
No problem.
Hi Colleen, cn u show hw to cut lining with body pattern together pls?
I knotted the end rather than back stitching. It's personal choice.
I have always been scared to try something like that because it looked too hard, but your explanations were so clear and easy to follow. I am not afraid of trying that now. Thank you so much from Australia. Love your accent. How do you know the size of the godet?
