Kelsey | Pleated Satin A-Line Cocktail Dress
Pleated Satin Cocktail Dress for Weddings and Evening Events
Kelsey is a pleated satin cocktail dress in a soft buttery yellow, cut with a deep V-neck and a gathered bodice that meets at a single center point. Two small side cutouts at the waist add a modern edge before the knife-pleated A-line skirt falls in a fluid, long sweep. Wear it as a wedding guest dress, to a cocktail party, or to a festive holiday dinner when you want polish without fuss.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth satin finish with a gentle sheen that catches the light along every pleat.
- Neckline: Deep V-neck framed by a gathered, sunray-style bodice.
- Sleeves: Sleeveless, with wide front shoulders that narrow into thin straps at the back.
- Cut/Fit: Fitted through the bodice, then flaring into an A-line skirt with plenty of movement.
- Details/Finish: Open side cutouts at the waist and a low, open back with a gathered band.
- Length: Long length that falls between mid-calf and ankle depending on your height.
- Style: Elegant, feminine and occasion-ready.
Styling Tips
- Add strappy nude heeled sandals, a pearl clutch and delicate gold jewelry for a wedding guest look.
- Layer a cropped tailored blazer in cream or camel over the top for a fall rehearsal dinner or cocktail evening.
- For a holiday party, pair it with metallic heels, a faux fur wrap and statement earrings.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a gentle cold cycle inside a laundry bag, then hang to dry to help keep the pleats crisp. Steam lightly rather than pressing the pleats flat, and always check the care label.
Size & Fit
The bodice sits close to the body while the pleated skirt flows freely over the hips. If you are between sizes or prefer a little more room through the bust and waist, size up. Check the size guide below to find your best fit.

Good to know
- Color: colors can look slightly different depending on lighting and your screen settings.
- Measurements: sizes are measured by hand, so small differences of 1–3 cm are possible.
- Creases from shipping: light creases from packaging fall out after a day on a hanger or with a little steam.
