Pleated dresses and skirts 2014-2015

When choosing a style of dress, you should carefully consider and determine its purpose - smart, casual or for relaxation. As for pleating, most often these things are designed as elegant. They look spectacular in motion, dynamics immediately appear in your image, they create airiness and lightness. Pleated skirts up to or just below the knee go well with shirts or silk blouses, and then the whole outfit can be used as a casual, business one. You will look feminine and elegant. And for walking with friends in cool weather, you can complement the pleated skirt with a thin jumper or oversized sweater. This option will look great.

For several seasons, pleated skirts and dresses have been present in the collections of many designers. What is pleating? It should be noted right away that for the decorative finishing of dresses and skirts, there are several types of folds, including pleating and corrugation.

Pleating - this is a series of laid folds of various widths, which can be one-sided, bow or combined, located along the entire width of the skirt or at certain intervals. Pleating can be on straight and flared skirts. It is the last ones that are fashionable in the fall-winter 2014-2015 season. And the most classic example of pleating can be skirts from the collections of Holly Fulton, Diesel Black Gold, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and many others like them.

Pleated dresses look luxurious not only from light and thin fabrics, but also from leather or from materials that imitate leather. It is the latter that are most practical, since they hardly wrinkle.
