The pleated skirt is distinguished by the fact that many parallel folds are artificially created on it. Such skirts are often used as an element of the costume of girls playing tennis.
When doing this drawing lesson, you don’t have to draw perfectly straight lines. Thus, to draw a pleated skirt, you do not need to use a ruler, as all lines must be drawn by hand and slight irregularities are allowed in order to convey the natural structure of the fabric of the skirt.
