What makes a pleated dress special?

The vertical pleats of a pleated dress lengthen the silhouette and sway gently with every step. Some styles are pleated all over, others only at the skirt, and all come with long sleeves and a modest maxi length.

Which fabric should you choose?

Chiffon: light and dressy, usually lined. Satin: a soft sheen for evening events. Crepe: holds its pleats well and suits everyday wear.

How do you care for a pleated dress?

Wash on a gentle cycle, hang to dry without wringing and avoid ironing directly over the pleats. If you love the pleated look, you can also pair pleated skirts with a long tunic or blouse for a different outfit.
