Bang on Tony. In this thread Graham Sumner also points out that there is evidence for the crescent pleats being made more permanent with stitches to hold them in place, so it may well have turned into a particular 'look', in the 1stC in particular.
Funnily, you just calling them crescents may hold a clue to why they were so desirable, given the abundance of crescents in appliques and jewellery? Long shot.
