Spanish translation:falda negra de tejido de punto, plisada en la cintura
Explanation:
This would be the phrase more easily understood in all Spanish speaking countries.

"Fruncida" would not work in Latin America as it means "crooked".

Falda de jersey, plegada a la cintura.


Explanation:
Any other definition of jersey refers to bovine attributes. "Fruncida" connotes crookednes. If it were pleated it would be "alforzada". If it's gathered it's plegada.

falda con plieges en la cintura


Explanation:
Si la descripción es para lectores, que pueden apreciar la foto se habla de que la falda esta confeccionada con pliegues en la cintura.

Si por lo contrario, se trata de explicar que alguien lleve puesta una falda plegada a la cintura, la falda no necesariamente esta confeccionada con pliegues, sino que puede haberse plegado por simular un cinturon o marcar la línea de la cintura (sin pliegues).
