Two colourways, both dark-ground florals: black and khaki. The construction is where the interest sits. Smocking runs across the upper chest instead of at the waist, so the stretch is high on the body and the rest of the dress falls away in an A-line. A crew neck keeps it covered, lantern sleeves add bulk at the arm, and a matching tie belt comes with it that can be taken off entirely.

The short version

Start here

Smocking high on the chest

Most smocked dresses shir at the waist or across the whole bodice. Here it is confined to the upper chest, which means the stretch holds the top in place while nothing grips lower down.

A belt you can remove

The waist tie matches the print and detaches. Tied, the dress has a defined middle; off, it hangs as a straight A-line from the smocking down. Two different dresses off one hanger.

Full lining behind the print

Chiffon this fine is see-through on its own. The lining runs the full body of the dress, which is what lets a black floral read as a floral rather than as a shadow in daylight.

Fit, honestly

An A-line cut with stretch only at the top, so sizing hangs on chest and shoulder fit rather than waist measurement. No zip anywhere; the smocking does the holding. Care is on the fussy end: hand wash cold or a gentle cycle, dry flat in shade, keep it out of long direct sun.
