Ayoke is a shapedpattern piece that forms part of a garment, usually fitting around the neck and shoulders or around the hips to provide support for looser parts of the garment, such as a gatheredskirt or the body of ashirt.[1] Yoke fabrication was first widely done in the 19th century.[2] Bodice yokes were first made in the 1880s, while the yoke skirt, a skirt suspended from a fitted hip yoke, was first produced in 1898.[2]
