A godet ( /ɡoʊˈdeɪ/ or /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. The most popular use of godets is in petticoats. [3] Adding a godet to a piece of clothing also gives the wearer a wider range of motion. [4]
