Perfect For
This midi dress works beautifully for outdoor garden gatherings, weekend brunches, casual daytime events, and warm-weather outings.

It transitions naturally from a relaxed afternoon to an evening dinner with minimal effort.
Styling Tips
Cinch the waist with a wide belt in a neutral tone — such as white or tan — to define your silhouette and add a polished finishing touch, just as shown. Pair with block-heeled sandals or strappy flats to keep the look grounded and wearable. For cooler evenings, layer a fitted denim or linen jacket over the sleeveless bodice without covering the smocked detail.
Materials & Care
The shell is constructed from a 90% rayon, 10% nylon blend, giving the fabric a lightweight drape with a slight structured body. The skirt is fully lined in 100% polyester for comfortable, smooth movement. Hand wash cold or machine wash on a delicate cycle; lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat to preserve the smocked elasticity and fabric integrity.
Why You'll Love It
The smocked bodice stretches to fit your body naturally, offering a comfortable, secure fit without a traditional closure. The fully lined tiered skirt moves freely and sits smoothly against the body. The classic small gingham check print and midi length give this dress a timeless, polished look that flatters a range of body types and works across multiple occasions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the smocked bodice stretch to fit different body shapes?
Yes — the smocked bodice is elasticized, so it stretches to conform to your body and provides a secure, comfortable fit without a traditional closure like a zipper or button. We recommend sizing based on your bust measurement for the best fit through the bodice.
Is this dress true to size?
This dress is available in Small, Medium, and Large. The smocked bodice offers some flexibility in fit, but the waist seam and tiered A-line skirt are more structured. If you are between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for ease of movement through the skirt.
How should I care for this dress?
The shell is 90% rayon and 10% nylon, which is best cared for by hand washing cold or machine washing on a gentle/delicate cycle. Hang or lay flat to dry. Avoid putting it in a high-heat dryer, as heat can affect the smocked elasticity and the rayon fabric.
What length does this dress hit?
This is a midi-length dress, which typically falls between the knee and the ankle. The exact hem point will vary slightly depending on your height.
Is the skirt fully lined?
Yes, the dress is fully lined in 100% polyester, so the tiered skirt sits smoothly and comfortably without requiring a separate slip underneath.
