Material Composition
95% cotton and 5% spandex produce a fabric that is primarily natural in feel and breathability. The cotton provides structure, print clarity, and the ability to handle warm temperatures without trapping heat. The 5% spandex introduces the slight stretch that allows the smocked bodice to stretch for entry and recover to a fitted shape - a small percentage that plays a functional role specific to this style of construction.
Construction Details
Strapless tube silhouette with a smocked bodice running the full width of the chest. The smocking provides elasticized structure that adjusts to fit and holds position through wear. Below the smocked bodice, the skirt is gathered and falls in a full A-line to midi length at mid-calf. The geometric diamond print - small repeated diamond motifs in navy on a white ground - covers the full garment, with a wider decorative border print band along the hem that gives the silhouette a deliberate finish. Not lined throughout.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Cold washing preserves the print and prevents any cotton shrinkage; low heat drying maintains the elasticity and structure of the smocked bodice panel over repeated washes.
