Like some fans (7)
I believe the answer is:
pleated
'like some fans' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pleated that I've seen before include "Gathered" , "Folded and stitched" , "With folds sewn in" , "(Garment) with folds" , "Folded and sewn" .)
