A gas turbine engine component includes a component wall that has an exterior core gaspath side and an opposed interior side. The component wall is formed of a ceramic matrix composite that includes a plurality of fiber plies disposed in a ceramic matrix. The component wall includes a corner that connects first and second wall sections. The fiber plies extend continuously through the first wall section, the corner, and the second wall section. The fiber plies are in a stacked contiguous arrangement in the first and second wall sections and at least some of the fiber plies separate from one another in the corner to define one or more void pockets there between.
