Pleated dresses with structure and movement

Pleats add volume where you want it and keep the rest of the shape clean. The Vadim pleated silk midi and the Ava pleated cape-sleeved silk gown move as you walk, the Haylee knife-pleated poplin mini keeps the pleats short and crisp, and the Celestial drop-waist chiffon gown falls to the floor.

Beyond dresses, there are pleated skirts such as the Valkyrie knife-pleated mini, the Laci pleated skirt and the Octo draped chiffon floor-length skirt. Designers include CHYMEOCHY, Decos, SEYCHAS, Raffiné, TRACY STUDIO, PHAM STUDIO and DeNio.

How to style a pleated dress

Let the pleats lead and keep everything else simple. Pair a pleated midi with a plain heel and a small bag for weddings and birthdays. A pleated skirt with a fitted knit or a strapless top works for dinners. For office days, choose a pleated dress in a solid color and add a blazer.

Do pleated dresses suit every body shape?

It depends on where the pleats sit. Check each product page for the shape and how much volume the pleats add, and choose a pegged shape such as the Cleopatra taffeta midi if you prefer less.
