In the universe of Dresses, there is one type of camisole that deserves more credit and attention than it is now: the pleated skirt. And, since it’s spring (and then wedding guests season), pleated dresses are having a moment. Ruching, which is a collection of overlays to create a beautiful ripple effect on the bodice or at the waist and hips, brings incredible texture and depth to the garment. (ONE slip dressmeanwhile, will look pretty flat.) Pleated skirts are often paired with Body contours silhouette – but with additional fabric pleats built into the structure, there is a “layer” of comfort when wearing a ruffled dress. You don’t need to iron or straighten the dress once you get up from a sitting position and there’s usually no reason to steam or iron it first; pleats, usually achieved with stretch fabric blends, provide a level of stretch for more comfortable wear.
