pleated dress

Ridged flowing frock

A pleated dress is a dress featuring pleats—folds of fabric that are pressed or stitched to create texture, movement, or shape.

The pleats may run vertically from waist to hem, fan out from the bodice, or appear only in the skirt portion.

Pleated dresses range from casual to formal: She wore a pleated dress to the garden party.
