Umgee Smocked Ruffle Tiered Mini Dress in Hunter Green

A smocked bodice does two useful things at once. It holds you without a zipper and it forgives whatever you ate for lunch. This hunter green mini pairs that stretchy smocked top with ruffle accents and a skirt built in tiers, so the fabric falls in soft layers that swing when you walk rather than hanging in one flat line.

The dress is made from 80 percent rayon and 20 percent polyester, it is lined, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. Sizing runs S through L. The bust measures 35 to 36 inches in a small and opens to 39 to 40 inches in a large, with the smocking taking up the difference between the two numbers rather than needing a fastening. Hunter green is the single colorway, which is a deeper shade that sits well against tan, cream, denim and gold.

Strappy sandals and a small crossbody is the obvious way to wear it, and it is obvious because it works. The mini length keeps things light for a garden party, a brunch or a warm holiday afternoon, and the tiers mean you can sit down without the skirt fighting you. Add a denim jacket or a light cardigan across the shoulders once the sun drops. Keep jewelry simple and let the ruffles and the green do the work.
