{"id":8556,"count":0,"description":"Pleating does something to a dress that no other construction technique quite manages. It creates movement without effort, structure without stiffness, and a silhouette that flatters by suggestion rather than by clinging. We've always thought pleated dresses were underrated in exactly this way. People reach for them and then wonder why they feel so good and look so right, as if the dress is doing the work for them. It is.\n\nWhat we've pulled together here covers the full range of occasions where a pleated dress makes complete sense. The workday that needs to look considered without feeling costume-like. The wedding guest outfit that photographs beautifully from every angle. The dinner that deserves something better than whatever you've worn three times already. Pleats handle all of it.\n\nWe've been particularly drawn to midi lengths and dresses with pleating that starts from the waist, because both elongate without requiring anything from the wearer. Good fabric matters enormously here. Pleats in cheap material collapse. In the right fabric they move properly and hold their shape throughout an entire day. These are the dresses that make getting dressed feel genuinely worthwhile.","link":"https:\/\/clairewears.co.uk\/clairespicks\/product-category\/dresses-worth-actually-buying\/pleated-dresses-that-move-beautifully\/pleated-dresses-worth-getting-dressed-for\/","name":"Pleated Dresses Worth Getting Dressed For","slug":"pleated-dresses-worth-getting-dressed-for","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":7647,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pleated Dresses Worth Getting Dressed For Archives - Claire Wears<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/clairewears.co.uk\/clairespicks\/product-category\/dresses-worth-actually-buying\/pleated-dresses-that-move-beautifully\/pleated-dresses-worth-getting-dressed-for\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pleated Dresses Worth Getting Dressed For Archives - Claire Wears\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Pleating does something to a dress that no other construction technique quite manages.
