[Gmsh] very thin layer -> huge number of elements

Hello,

I am trying to mesh a very thin curved layer (imagine a piece of cloth). 
It would be fine for me if the elements were thin, too. I think, GMSH 
attempts to make all the elements to be approximately regular 
tetrahedron and it results in huge number of elements.

Is there any possibility how to tell gmsh to create elements, which may 
be rather flat?

Thank you,
