Pleats are back, and they are making a real impression. The Off-the-shoulder pleated maxi dress makes a dramatic statement, with fine pleating from shoulder to hem, an off-the-shoulder neckline and sheer balloon sleeves that catch the light.
This is a dress that turns heads, made for the moments when you want to be seen.
Pleats from bodice to hem
The fine pleating throughout gives the dress constant movement and a vertical line that lengthens the silhouette. The elasticated neckline sits off the shoulders, the sheer balloon sleeves finish in fitted cuffs, and a wide belt defines the waist to balance the look.
Five colours, from understated to soft
Navy, dusty pink, black, baby blue and taupe: an elegant palette that is easy to accessorise. Black and navy create an evening look, while dusty pink and taupe feel softer and more romantic.
How to wear it
The off-the-shoulder neckline invites statement earrings and an updo. Choose slim heels for evening or flat sandals to soften the look by day. The belt already defines the waist, so there is no need to add another.
Choosing your size
Available from S to XXL. The elasticated neckline and belt allow a good degree of adjustment; choose your usual size.
Care
The pleats and sheer sleeves need gentle care: hand wash or use a very delicate cold cycle, then dry flat without spinning to preserve the pleats.
