Celebrity Pink Juniors and Juniors Plus Short Sleeve Smocked Midi Dress, Sizes XS-4X

I was hesitant to purchase this dress as at times less expensive dresses look and feel cheap, this an exception. It flows beautifully and love that it's both a bit longer length and that it has sleeves. The floral print is delicate and appropriate for many ages.

Even though this is a juniors brand, a YouTuber suggested getting your regular size in this dress. I did precisely that, and it fit me perfectly! It is a deep square cut where the dress's bodice is attached to the sleeves. For this reason, not every bra will work with this dress (if your goal is not to have straps showing). I opted for a strapless bra to avoid that struggle. The elastic around the shoulders and sleeves is very stretchy. So, it will not cut off your circulation, and if you want to wear the dress off the shoulder, it won't pop back up! In addition to this, the material is light and gauzy with a tone-on-tone check pattern in the fabric. Never fear; the skirt is lined, so there are no worries that people will see your underwear through the dress! I also recommend steaming this dress. You don't want to risk burning it with an iron! It's the perfect dress to look both cool, comfortable, and pretty in the summer heat! One more thing: I suggest using pant clips to clip the dress's bodice to the hanger when hanging the dress. Otherwise, you risk stretching out the elastic in the shoulder and the sleeves, which could potentially ruin the dress! It does come with clear hanging loops, but they broke when I attempted to use them!
