So I bought a new dress yesterday and have been stopped at work and in shops to ask where I got it, its really flattering and a lovely colour so if anyone is looking for a new dress I'd highly recommend this one 😃Floral Square Neck Midi Smock Dress

Floral Square Neck Midi Smock Dress

With its striking floral print, this dress offers a stylish choice for daywear. It's cut in a comfy regular fit, with a flattering square neckline and short sleeves to make it ideal for warmer weather. All-over smocking gives a figure-hugging shape thr...

So now everyone will be wearing it. Are you on commission 🤣🤣

ellerman · 23/06/2023 08:59

Ha, I've bought this for a family /public event next week.

Fraida · 23/06/2023 09:03

@DustyLee123 sadly not or I'd be using the interest to improve my incomings 😂

@ellerman excellent choice! Do feedback if you get a similar reaction!

I like it! But like all midi / maxi dresses it would look hideous on me (short arse).

GrinAndVomit · 23/06/2023 09:14

I love it and would buy it immediately if the sleeves a little shorter.

LuluAskIndia · 23/06/2023 09:15

My favourite colours! Really nice dress.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 23/06/2023 09:16

It's described as a square neck. It quite clearly isn't a square neck.

Deathraystare · 23/06/2023 09:17

Of course it is bastard Viscose.......

KitchenSinkLlama · 23/06/2023 09:18

I saw it in an M&S shop. The fabric is not to my taste. Glad you like it though OP.

mondaytosunday · 23/06/2023 09:18

Yes we saw very similar style dresses when we were in Farnham the other day. Same shirred bodice and skirt with ruffle at the bottom. Short sleeves though and print was more 'Liberty' print with little flowers. Looked really cute on my daughter, was only £29 but Miss Fussy didn't go for it.

Lentilweaver · 23/06/2023 09:20

Like the colour. Don't like the print or the tiers or the puff sleeves. So hard to get a plain simple dress these days.

MrsSkylerWhite · 23/06/2023 09:21

Sorry, I’m clearly odd but I don’t like it. Colours are good, though.

shropshirewitch · 23/06/2023 09:21

It's got zero shape to it.

BunnyBettChetwynnd · 23/06/2023 09:23

Smocking is fantastic on dresses. It makes the dress really fit your shape but isn't restrictive at all. There's another thread on here about must have items and I added mine then kicked myself after as I'd not added smocked dresses.

Loved dress OP.

Jemandthehologramsunite · 23/06/2023 09:25

I think it's terrible even on this model, it has no shape. But obviously it must look good on you if you've had so many compliments, so good find!

MrsTwiggy · 23/06/2023 09:26

I think it's lovely, but I wish it were cotton!

Yikesno · 23/06/2023 09:27

Is it difficult to find a bra to wear with it that doesn't show? The neck looks so wide I think most bra straps would show, plus it's quite low cut which could show the top of the bra.

BitchBrigade · 23/06/2023 09:28

I cannot wait for this hideous trend of shapeless, flour sack like dresses to die.

Thebirdhouse · 23/06/2023 09:30

I like it, and the colours are very flattering on me. Sadly the wrong shape for me (I'm short) but on the right body shape, I can see why this would look great.

BitchBrigade · 23/06/2023 09:31

Oops wrong thread 😅

This is actually lovely, especially the way it sinches at the waist without clinging to the hips! Colour isn't for me mind but it's a lovely cut (and makes a change from those bloody flour sacks that are drowning out the stock of normal dresses!).

JimnJoyce · 23/06/2023 09:37

lovely colours but i hate shirring

SimonsCow · 23/06/2023 09:40

This looks ideal for women who want to show off boobs and waist but hide belly, arms, legs and hips!

OP would you mind telling us your rough age, height and dress size?!

RudsyFarmer · 23/06/2023 09:41

My breasts in that dress would be hilarious 🤣
