Apricot, designed for plus sizes, and built almost entirely out of smocking and ruffles. The square neckline and the shoulder straps are both smocked, which lets the top half adjust rather than fasten. Sleeves are long puff balloons gathered into elastic cuffs with ruffle trim, the hem is tiered, and side pockets sit in the skirt. The cloth is a textured burnout floral jacquard with a slight stretch and no lining. New to the catalogue with a short review record.

Reading the smocked apricot plus size boho maxi

one

Smocking at the neckline and the straps

Both the square neck and the shoulder straps are smocked, so the top of the dress stretches in two directions and settles where it lands. On a plus-size cut that removes the usual problem of a fixed strap length fighting a fitted neckline.

two

Balloon sleeves closed at the cuff

The sleeves are wide puff balloons gathered into elastic cuffs with ruffle trim at the wrist. Volume sits in the upper arm and stops dead at the cuff, which keeps the sleeve out of the way at a table.

three

Burnout jacquard, unlined

The fabric is a textured burnout floral jacquard with a slight stretch, cut without a lining so it falls on its own weight. The listing warns it arrives creased from transit and suggests ironing before the first wear, which is standard for a textured weave.

Everything that would normally be a fastening on this dress is smocking instead.

Fit, honestly

The smocked neck and straps carry the adjustment, so there is nothing to zip or button. The waist is described as forgiving and the skirt flares out in tiers. Care is machine wash cold, hang dry, low iron.
