Pleated / the buying desk
Let the pleats do the talking.
Start at the waist. Once that fits, compare the length, shape and care instructions for the piece you want to wear.

Pleated buying notes
Read the pleated guide →Plan the cost of your purchase
Explore your own cost-per-use scenario. Enter a realistic plan and include known extras. The result is arithmetic, not a claim about durability, performance or resale value.
Pleat shape
Find out whether the waistband is fixed, elastic or adjustable. Check the waist measurement before deciding how the pleats will sit with the rest of the outfit.
Waist construction
A pleated skirt, a pair of trousers and a matching set need different notes. Keep the garment length and fabric care instructions beside the item, rather than judging everything from the drape in a photograph.
Garment length
Measure the garment length against a skirt or pair of trousers you already wear.
