Smock dresses have a relaxed, slightly artisan quality that we find genuinely appealing. The gathered fabric from a yoke or across the chest creates shape without structure and the result is incredibly comfortable to wear all day. We love smock dresses in cotton for summer and in slightly heavier fabrics for the transitional months. They layer beautifully over long sleeves. These are the smock dresses we keep coming back to. Easy to wear, easy to love, considerably harder to find in the right quality than you’d think.
