Verlaine - Floral V-Neck Smocked-Waist Midi Dress
Verlaine - Floral V-Neck Smocked-Waist Midi Dress
A floral midi with a smocked waist, so it fits without needing to be fitted.
A dress that has to be the right size at the waist is a dress you can only wear on certain days. Smocking removes that constraint entirely, and most floral midis still do not have it.
Why is this floral V-neck smocked-waist midi dress so popular?
- Smocking adjusts itself: A shirred waistband stretches to you rather than the other way round.
- A-line skirt: Falls away from the hip instead of holding to it.
- Three-quarter sleeves: Covered enough for spring and autumn, short enough not to overheat.
- Small-scale print: A ditsy floral reads as considered where a large print reads as costume.
- Six sizes to 3XL: The smocked waist is what keeps the intended fit across the whole range.
Ideal for:
Women who want a dress that fits on any given day, anyone who dresses for events where the weather is unknown, and those who prefer a print small enough to wear more than once a season.
How does the smocked waist fit?
It stretches comfortably across roughly two sizes, which is why the size range works as well as it does.
Where does the hem sit?
Mid-calf on most heights. On taller frames it sits slightly higher, closer to the shin.
Is it lined?
The skirt carries a lining; the sleeves and bodice are single layer for airflow.
