Gore (fabric)

In clothing and similar applications, a gore is a triangular or trapezoidal piece of textile that might be used to shape a garment to fit the body's contours.
The word is derived from the Old English gār, meaning spear. Over time, it came to be used as a piece of cloth to make clothes. Dressmaking and hatmaking refer to triangular or rhomboid pieces of fabric combined to create a fuller three-dimensional effect. In knitting gloves and mittens, a "thumb gore" is often incorporated from the wrist partway to the tip of the thumb to accommodate the gradually increasing width of the hand.
The part of a bra that links the two bra cups is called the "center gore".
