Darlings, this fall, it's all about pretty pleating! Before you go clothes shopping, be sure to pick up the essential tome on the subject:

Beautiful! I love pleats! My three faves from these designs are the Sacai velvet-trim pleated printed chiffon blouse, the Facetasm layered jacquard skirt, and thet beautiful (and more formal) Giambattista Valli pleated silk-crepe and tulle gown.
