Burnout is a finish rather than a print: parts of the cloth are thinned out so the floral shows as a difference in density instead of a difference in colour. On the navy it reads as tone-on-tone jacquard; on the orange it is considerably louder. Shirring at the crew neck pulls the top in, the sleeves finish in a ruffle, the hem does the same, and there are pockets hidden in the side seams.

Reading the burnout floral smocked mini

one

Pattern made by texture

The floral comes out of the weave, not from ink sitting on top of it. That keeps the dress from looking like a printed cotton, and it is why the navy colourway stays subtle at a distance and only resolves up close.

two

Shirring at the neckline

The smocked panel runs across the crew neck and torso, so the top conforms without being tight and the babydoll shape takes over below it. No closures are needed anywhere on the dress.

three

Ruffles at both ends

Sleeve cuffs and hem are both ruffled, which bookends the A-line and keeps a short dress from stopping abruptly. A modest silhouette with the motion built in rather than cut in.

Two colourways with different personalities: the navy keeps quiet, the orange does not.

Fit, honestly

Simplee states this one fits true to size, a claim it does not make for most of the range. Sizes run S (4-6) to XL (14) and the shirred bodice stretches over the head, so there is nothing to fasten. Cold wash, hang to dry, low iron, no bleach near the burnout areas.
