Floral Square Neck Puff Sleeve Tiered Maxi Dress

This is a maxi that moves. The body is tiered so the fabric falls in stages rather than one flat sheet, and the floral print carries all the way down, which is what makes it read as a garden party dress rather than a plain long dress. The square neckline frames the collarbone and the puff sleeves lift the whole silhouette at the shoulder.

The fabric is 100% Polyester and it is slightly stretchy. The smocking at the body does the fitting work, which is why the waist measurement climbs steadily from 26.8 inches at S to 35.4 inches at 2XL while the length barely moves, sitting between 52 and 53.5 inches across the range. The body is not lined. Ruching, ruffles and a tie detail round out the construction, and the colour is Sherbet, a soft warm ground for the print to sit on.

Because the length runs past 52 inches, this wants a little height or a flat sandal you do not mind the hem brushing. Wear it to an outdoor wedding with drop earrings and a small clutch, or pull it on over a swimsuit at the end of a beach day and let it do the work of getting dressed for you. A denim jacket knocks the formality down if you want it for a weekend lunch instead.
