There is one pleat on either side of the front and one tapered box pleat at the centre back. There are gores inserted and pleated into the side seams. Although the banyan is extensively pieced with no complete repeat of the damask pattern, there is no sign of previous folds or stitching.  Silk damask, lined with silk taffeta and linen, hand-sewn with silk and linen thread.
