Who thought we'd be seeing such diversity in pleats in 2013? Lately designers have been turning out artsy versions of pleat treatments on dresses that are rocking it out down runways and in designer collections. Traditionally wedding dresses have some of the most pleated skirts you're gonna find out there--and lately we've seen some real creative bodice treatments too. A-line and princess styles in heavier fabrics like satin moire and taffeta can have deep box or inverted pleats in the skirt. So why do some designers decide to pleat instead of gather? Pleats lie flat and gathering is bulky. And who needs all that extra bulk in the waist or hip? The result will be an uninterrupted line up the bodice with an even fullness in the skirt. But t
here's more to pleats than the traditional bodice and skirt treatments. Here are a few happenings in bridal I'm absolutely swooning over . . .
