Smock Dresses

<-h2->Smock dresses with room through the body<-h2-> Why insist on a waist at all? Smock dresses take the opposite view, gathered and shirred through the bodice then left to hang, in midi, mini and maxi lengths, in cotton, broderie and lighter woven fabrics, in white, soft colour and print. A cotton smock with a flat leather sandal and a woven bag carries a hot afternoon and most of a holiday. Bring the shape back with a slim tan belt, or layer a fine knit over the top with a flat boot once the weather turns. For a summer wedding or a garden lunch, a broderie smock midi with a block heel and gold drop earrings reads considered rather than sweet. Denim jackets, cropped cardigans and linen shirts all sit over the volume without fighting it, which is how one dress starts behaving like several. The smock dress edit spans cotton, broderie and print across three lengths, for warm days and the trips that follow them.
