Suddenly, pleated midi dresses have started popping up everywhere. While I’m seeing them in a range of colors and fabrications, it is the white cotton design that have made an impression on this fashion set. This summer, a range of designers have similar styles in their collections, including investment-worthy finds from Khaite and Attersee, as well as versions at more affordable price points.
Though interpretations of the pleated dress style range from brand to brand, they have a few details in common. Often, a high neckline and cinched waist which lends a sense of elegance and sophistication, as well as a cotton finish that brings a casual, low-key element to the dress. The popular dress is already a mainstay of the fashion set everywhere from summer holidays in the South of France to bridal parties close to home.
