Thea | Pleated Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress
Thea | Pleated Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress
Pleated Maxi Dress for Wedding Guests, Galas and Evening Events
Thea is a floor-sweeping pleated maxi dress made for the moments that call for something special. Sheer, floaty cape sleeves fall from a deep V-neck, while a smooth wide waistband gives way to a skirt of fine knife pleats that moves with every step. Wear it as an autumn or winter wedding guest dress, to a gala or black tie dinner, or as a graceful choice for the Christmas party season.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Lightweight, chiffon-look fabric with crisp, fine pleating and a soft, airy drape.
- Neckline: Deep V-neck with pleats that fan out across the bodice.
- Sleeves: Sheer, elbow-length cape sleeves that float loosely over the arms.
- Cut/Fit: Relaxed blouson bodice gathered into a wide, flat waistband for a clearly defined waist.
- Length: Full-length maxi that skims the floor.
- Details/Finish: All-over vertical pleats from shoulder to hem for a long, lean line and fluid movement.
- Style: Elegant formal evening dress with a soft, romantic feel.
Styling Tips
- For a wedding guest look, add strappy heeled sandals, a white satin clutch and statement drop earrings.
- For a winter wedding or evening reception, layer a tailored cream blazer or a faux fur wrap over the shoulders and finish with block heels.
- For a Christmas party, swap in metallic silver heels and a sparkling cuff bracelet to catch the light.
Care
Gentle cold hand wash or a delicate machine cycle, then hang to dry away from direct heat to help keep the pleats crisp. A light steam will smooth any creases; always check the care label first.
Size & Fit
The bodice and sleeves are loose and floaty, so the waistband is the main point of fit. Choose your usual size for a defined waist; if you are between sizes or prefer a softer feel through the middle, size up. The skirt flows freely over the hips and falls to the floor, so consider the height of your shoes when planning your outfit.
