Sculptural, Timeless, Effortless — But How Does Pleats Please Actually Fit?

Pleats Please Issey Miyake is unlike any other brand. Launched in 1993 as a diffusion line from the Japanese design house Issey Miyake, Pleats Please combines innovation and ease. Every piece is constructed from heat-pressed, permanent pleats — designed to be lightweight, wrinkle-free, and body-friendly.

But with all that stretch and drape, it raises an important question:

Does Pleats Please run big or small — and how do you pick the right size?

🧵 Here’s the fastest way to find out: Create your free profile at Tellar.co.uk and instantly get your best Pleats Please size — plus your size in thousands of brands. One-time setup, always free, with a printable measuring tape included. We analyse real sizing data from fashion labels worldwide, so you never have to rely on guesswork again.

Pleats Please Sizing: Flexible Fit, One-Size-Like — But Still Structured

Despite the label’s reputation for “one-size” fits, Pleats Please sizing is not universal. Many styles are offered in numbered sizes (1, 2, 3, etc.), and though the pleated fabric stretches, the cut, length, and proportions still vary.

Women’s Fit Overview

Tops & Tees: Extremely stretchy and accommodating. Size 3 (M) fits UK 10–14. Size up if you’re tall or prefer length.
Dresses: True to size, but shorter dresses can run small in length. Shift shapes fit most body types; narrow cuts may feel snug at hips.
Trousers & Skirts: High-rise elasticated waistbands offer stretch, but hips and leg length can be limiting. Tall or curvy bodies may prefer a larger size.
Outerwear: Typically designed for layering, jackets and coats are roomy but short. Sizing up is ideal if layering over bulky items.

Why Pleats Please May Feel Larger — Or Smaller — Than Expected

Pleats Please pieces use high-performance polyester, heat-set into permanent pleats. That means:

The fabric stretches width-wise, but not much in length
Armholes and leg openings stay narrow
Cropped cuts and minimal tailoring can make items feel short on taller wearers
Rise and shoulder width don’t stretch, making accurate sizing essential

Even though many customers love the brand’s freedom of movement, the fit still matters — especially across the bust, hips, and inseam.
