Check price & buyDenim in a maxi usually means weight. This one is a lyocell-led blend: 65% lyocell, 24% polyester, 10% viscose and 1% spandex, so it hangs rather than standing up on its own. The cut is boho rather than western workwear, with flutter short sleeves, a notched V-neck, a high smocked waist and a long skirt that ruffles as it falls. Pockets sit in the side seams. Two colourways, Deep Blue and Black, and the listing has gathered enough feedback to count as settled.

Only a fraction of the fabric is doing the stiff work here: lyocell dominates, with polyester, viscose and one percent spandex for give. The result is a denim look with a soft hand and slight stretch, which is why the listing claims it suits a range of body shapes.
The waist sits high and smocked, so the elastic does the fitting and the skirt below falls free. That keeps the denim from pulling across the hips and gives the ruffled hem something to move with when walking.
The bullets list pockets as a design point rather than an afterthought, which matters on a skirt this long: it removes the need to carry a bag at a casual event. Simplee shows it styled with sandals, sneakers or wedges, so the shoe decides how formal it reads.
Sized S to XL against US 4-6, 8-10, 12-14 and 16-18. The smocked waist stretches, no buttons or zips are listed, and the spandex content gives a little recovery through the day. Machine wash gently, hang to dry, iron on low heat if needed.
