Discover the Effortless Charm of Pleated Dresses & Gowns

There's something undeniably graceful about a pleated dress. Whether you're attending a formal gala or heading out for a fun brunch, pleats add that extra layer of movement, texture, and polish. At Adrianna Papell, we've curated a collection of pleated gowns and dresses that blend elegance with modern flair, designed to make every woman feel beautifully confident.

Types of Pleated Dresses to Fall in Love With

From flirty minis to floor-grazing gowns, there’s a pleated silhouette for every occasion and mood.

Pleated Mini Dress

Fun, flirty, and full of personality, the pleated mini dress is a bold choice for nights out or festive gatherings. The shorter hemline brings youthful energy, while the pleats elevate the style from casual to standout. Pair it with heels and statement accessories for an unforgettable look that dances as you do.

One Shoulder Pleated Dress

If you love a bit of drama in your look, the one shoulder dress with pleats is your perfect match. The asymmetrical neckline creates an eye-catching silhouette, while the pleats add texture and sophistication. This style is ideal for cocktail parties, modern weddings, or any time you want to make an entrance.

Pleated Gown

Designed with life’s grandest occasions in mind, the pleated gown is pure elegance. Whether it’s a red carpet moment, a black-tie gala, or a milestone celebration, these gowns command attention. The sweeping pleats create stunning movement, while the design details—think high slits, metallic sheens, or delicate embellishments make each piece truly unforgettable.

Plus Size Pleated Dress

Beautifully tailored and thoughtfully designed, our plus size pleated dresses celebrate every curve. From flowing A-line skirts to cinched waists and flattering necklines, these styles offer comfort without compromising on glamour. Pleats add structure and dimension, creating balance and grace across all body types.

Long Sleeve Pleated Dress

For a refined and elegant look, the long sleeve pleated dress brings just the right amount of coverage while maintaining a fluid silhouette. Whether it’s a transitional weather staple or a modest style preference, this design offers the perfect mix of sophistication and style. It’s ideal for formal dinners, cool-weather events, or office-to-evening wear.

The Best Colors for Pleated Perfection

Color isn't just about personal preference; it plays a big role in defining the mood, versatility, and impact of a pleated dress. Here's how some standout shades make all the difference:

Black Pleated Dress

• Timeless and universally flattering.
• Ideal for formal occasions, evening events, or when you want to feel effortlessly put-together.
• The pleats in black fabric create stunning shadows and dimension, adding depth without being overpowering.

White Pleated Dress

• Fresh, clean, and ethereal.
• Perfect for daytime events, bridal showers, garden parties, or tropical getaways.
  
• Highlights the structure of the pleats beautifully and feels light, airy, and elegant.

Green Pleated Dress

• A bold yet sophisticated choice that stands out in any crowd.
• Works well in both jewel tones and softer sage or mint shades.
• Adds a touch of modernity and unexpected flair to the classic pleated look.

Other Noteworthy Shades

• Blush or nude tones: Soft and romantic, perfect for weddings or springtime occasions.
  Navy or midnight blue: A refined alternative to black, great for formal yet understated elegance.
• Bold colors like red, fuchsia, or cobalt: Make a statement while celebrating the movement and texture of pleats.

Each color interacts with the pleats differently. Darker shades add drama and definition, while lighter tones bring a soft, floating effect. Whether you prefer minimalistic or striking, there’s a pleated hue that’s just right for your moment.

Style That Moves With You

Pleats aren’t just pretty, they’re functional too. They offer structure, movement, and a beautiful way to elevate any look without trying too hard. Whether you're slipping into a women’s pleated dress for a formal occasion or a relaxed brunch, this style never fails to deliver elegance with ease.

Our pleated dresses are designed to be graceful, timeless and elegant. We love pleated dresses because they create wonderful movement at the skirt, and always look sophisticated and poised. Pleats are timeless, but we've designed ours with a modern twist—graceful, artful, and thoughtfully crafted to result in a beautiful overall pleated dress.
