Plisse somewhat resembles corrugation, so they are sometimes confused. However, they have obvious differences: the corrugation is a three-dimensional insert with the same sides, and the pleated part is an ironed recumbent fold, which sometimes is disproportionate.
Pleating can be partial or complete. The partial is often combined with a smooth top or acts as an insert in the dress skirt. Partial pleating adds to the image of originality and charm, and complete makes the image gentle and romantic.
History of things: dresses from cloth pleated
Pliesse originated in the 17th century BC, and its technology has gone a long way. Initially, the pleated fabric adorned the magnificent garments of the Egyptians, not only women, but also men. The effect of ironed folds was achieved by applying gelatin from fish bones. The Greeks smoothed the folds with a special rolling pin, and the Romans taped the wet cloth with a hammer. The Vikings distinguished themselves by originality, which fixed the folds on the fabric with clay, and then baked the material in the oven. In different epochs pleated outfits were acquired by the most noble and rich men and women, emphasizing their status.
In the modern fashion pleated outfits came in thanks to the Spanish designer of clothes Mariano Fortuni. He was inspired by ancient art and he created a collection of dresses, similar to Greek tunic. Designer dresses were called "dolphos", or as it was called a fashionista "tea dress". It was a long pleated dress with a deep neckline or neckline, and sometimes all together. The girls were embarrassed to go out in such a frank dress to the light, so they flaunted in it exclusively for the guests in their home surroundings. Fortunately, among the clients of Fortuny were such women as Natasha Rambova, Sarah Bernhard and Isadoa Duncan, who put on a dress pleated on the floor for social events. Since then, the dress of cloth pleated tightly entered the life of fashionistas.
Dress pleated became the hallmark of Catherine Hepburn and Merlin Monroe . Stylists dressed them in romantic pleated dresses below the knee. Also, pleating was reflected in school fashion. Fragile schoolgirls in touching sundresses made of pleated fabric and white socks became universally recognizable.
Types of dresses pleated
There are many variations of dresses with pleating. In general, outfits differ in length, shape, absence / presence of cutouts and décolleté, width of folds, type and type of fabric.
- Maxi pleated dress. Especially spectacular in the style of Empire with an overstated waist and a multi-round shape. A long dress must be emphasized with a belt or bright costume jewelry, otherwise the image will be incomplete. Suitable for girls with any type of figure.
- Dress with a pleated skirt. This combination is often found in the collections of modern designers. Masters make the skirt pleated, and the top is made of the same fabric, only ironed, finishing it with beads or lace. This gives the image a certain zest and accentuates the contrast combination of two types of fabrics.
- Short dress pleated. Gives an image of romance and coquetry. A short dress is not recommended for girls with a full figure, since short length combined with a three-dimensional fabric will emphasize the shortcomings of the figure. With a dress, feminine shoes with a thin heel fit well.
