McFadden built her name on a heat-set pleating process in silk that holds its accordion shape permanently, with no stitching or ironing required to maintain it — the pleats here are that signature process, not a printed imitation of it. The top layers as easily under a blazer as it stands alone, since the pleating itself does the structural work most tops need boning or darts to achieve. It's a piece for someone who already recognizes her fingerprint on sight.
