Allison | Pleated Midi Dress with Blazer Bodice

Allison brings together a tailored blazer top and a soft accordion-pleated midi skirt in one easy piece, so there's no outfit to coordinate in the morning. A single button draws the bodice in at the narrowest part of the waist, while the pleats fall full and long and swing back into place as you move. Made from smooth woven polyester that holds its shape from a morning meeting through an evening event.

Why You’ll Love It

• Defined waist – A single button cinches the bodice right at the narrowest point for a shaped look without any digging or pinching.
• Pleats that move – Accordion pleats fall from the waist into a full A-line midi skirt that skims through the hip and settles back into place when you sit, stand, or walk.
• Faux two-piece design – The tailored bodice and pleated skirt are built as one piece, so there's nothing to match up or tug straight.
• Stays crisp – The smooth woven polyester resists wrinkles and holds its shape through a long day and a car ride.
• Office to evening – Structured enough for a meeting and graceful enough for a wedding or banquet.
• Easy to style – Pair it with a heel of two inches or more for balanced proportions, or swap in loafers or low boots for daytime.

Perfect For

Workdays that end at a dinner or ceremony — think client meetings, weddings, banquets, and anywhere you want to look pulled together without assembling an outfit. Finish it with heels of at least two inches to balance the mid-calf hem, or go casual with loafers or low boots and a roomy tote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which size to choose?
Measure your waist and compare it to the size chart, which spans 23.5 to 30 inches, and check the bust listing there as well. Overall length runs from 35.5 to 37.5 inches depending on the size you select.

Can I wear this once the weather turns cold?
Yes — the woven polyester layers nicely beneath a long coat. Adding tights and closed-toe heels carries it through fall and winter.

What's the best way to care for the pleats?
Launder in cold water alongside like shades and skip the bleach. Let it air dry on a hanger so the accordion folds stay sharp, and use a cool iron only if it needs a touch-up.
