Difference between a Godet and a Gore?
Ok i was getting very mixed up with these two terms but after an hour of searching online for the answer this is what i came up with
The difference between the two lies in where the gores start. In a gored skirt, the gores start at the waistline and make up the entire skirt. In a godet skirt, the gores are inserted about halfway down or below the knee. This gives a clean, straight look at the top and double the flounce at the bottom.
A Gore is a Vertical division within a garment, usually tapered panels, narrower at the upper edge than the lower edge, seamed together to add fullness to a garment. May be functional or decorative.
Here's an example of a Gore..
