gather

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pull into folds of fabric' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'reverse of label the woman's' is the wordplay.
'reverse of' is a reversal indicator.
'label' becomes 'tag' (synonyms).
'the woman's' becomes 'her' (belonging to a woman).
'tag' written backwards gives 'gat'.
'gat'+'her'='GATHER'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gather that I've seen before include "Get together" , "put in pleats" , "Convene" , "... will proverbially do this" , "Accumulate, garner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
