Godet

 
Wikipedia: Godet (sewing)
A skirt with godets on the seams.

A godet (pronounced /ɡoʊˈdeɪ, ɡoʊˈdɛt/)[1] is an extra piece of fabric in the shape of a circular sector which is set into a garment, usually a dress or skirt.[2] The addition of a godet causes the article of clothing in question to flare, thus adding width and volume.[3] Adding a godet to a piece of clothing also gives the wearer a wider range of motion.[4]
