Why It Works
A smocked bodice and full gathered skirt give this cotton midi dress a polished, defined shape without any added structure.
- The fully smocked bodice provides a fitted, self-adjusting fit across the chest and waist without a zipper or boning
- Bold hot-pink floral print and ruffle cap sleeves make it a natural choice for summer events, outdoor celebrations, and warm-weather gatherings
- 100% cotton construction keeps it breathable and comfortable through a full day of wear

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Fitted smocked bodice from chest to natural waist, transitioning into a full gathered skirt that falls to mid-calf. Square neckline sits straight across the chest. Ruffle cap sleeves sit at the shoulder without coverage past the upper arm.
- Best For: Works best for those comfortable with a defined waist and fuller skirt. The elastic smocking accommodates a range of sizes across the torso. The midi length flatters a range of heights.
- Styling Tip: Pair with a low or mid-heel strappy sandal to keep the proportion balanced under the full midi skirt
Care Notes
- Fabric: 100% Cotton
- Washing: Dry clean only
- Drying: Do not machine dry — follow dry clean process
- Ironing: If needed, press on a low cotton setting with a pressing cloth to protect the smocked detail
- Special Notes: The smocked bodice may distort if machine washed or agitated — dry cleaning preserves the shirring structure
