The Blue Floral Maxi That Makes a Smocked High Waist Feel Like the Most Flattering Choice

Fresh, flattering and completely effortless — the Blue Floral Short Sleeve Smocked High Waist Maxi Dress is a summer piece that works from morning beach walks to evening terraces without missing a step. An all-over blue floral print covers smocked polyester in a flowing A-line maxi silhouette, while the elasticated high waist creates a beautifully figure-flattering silhouette that requires zero effort to achieve.
