German term

angedeuteter Bundfalte

German to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion clothing
Sie wird mit Gummizug oder angedeuteter Bundfalte, mit oder ohne Eingriff gearbeitet, der auch manchmal mit Knöpfen verschlossen wird.

The context here is boxer shorts. What is an "angedeuteter Bundfalte"??? I am at a bit of a loss....

mock pleat

mock = also in garments, something purely accessory and not serving a genuine purpose, i.e a fake.

Remember 'mock turtle soup', not made of turtle meat, but prepared veal tenderloin

A decorative \"Latz\" on a dress is a \'mock bib\'
Peer comment(s):

agree Deborah Shannon : mock pleats, plural maybe - though boxers are usually gathered rather than pleated aren't they?

can't give you a translation...

but perhaps the following web sites and pictures will help.

Do you remember "Bundfalthosen" - I think they're called "pleated trousers"? They were really popular in the 80's. An "angedeutete Bundfalte" is not as pronounced but gives that wee bit extra material compared to flat fronted trousers.

Here're the web pages:

http://www.designermode-guenstiger.de/kleidung/dg-1317-1.htm
sommerlich-trendiger Couture-Anzug von Dolce&Gabbana, feines leichtes Tuch aus Baumwolle mit Schurwolle und Seide (!), traumhaft schöne Passform, leicht tailliertes Einknopfsakko mit Rückenschlitz, extralanges schmales Revers, zwei Patten- eine Brustleistentasche, sämtliche Kanten mit handgarbeitetem Finish, beuem weit geschnittene hüfthohe Hose mit schmal zulaufendem Bein, sehr detailreich ausgestattet, durch Abnäher nur angedeutete Bundfalte, senkrecht eingelassene Paspeltaschen seitlich, zwei geknöpfte Paspeltaschen hinten, Hose muß auf Maß gekürzt werden (Schrittlänge ca. 93 cm), 52% Baumwolle 24% Schurwolle 24% Seide (Futter 65% Viscose 35% Cupro), beige

I think the "durch Abnäher angedeutete Bundfalte" might make things a little clearer.

And here's a picture of trouser "mit Bundfalte"

an idea of a pleat, a hint of a pleat

It looks like one but isn't really one, or if there is there isn't much of it.
