plated dress to floor.

Does the following phrase make sense?

She wears a plated dress to floor.

I wanted to say "she wears a plated dress wich is floor-length".

You mean "pleated", surely, unless it's Gaultier, maybe. Yes, you can say she wears a pleated dress to the floor. That would strike some people (not me) as an unusual way of putting it, so for a general audience "She wears a floor-length pleated dress" might be better.

Ok, I understand your point of view.
But, does it sound good for a native :" She wears a plated dress to the floor."

Do you mean "pleated" or not? If so, I already answered that. Yes, it's fine, but it does smack of fashion jargon, which is not all bad.
