This London Times dress is absolutely perfect for spring and summer events! The square neckline front and back gives it this elegant, feminine look that's so in style right now. It's made from a rayon and linen blend fabric with this beautiful floral print that just screams garden party. The smocked back and shirred empire waist are super flattering - they create this nice shape without being too tight or restrictive. The short puff sleeves have elastic at the shoulders and hems, giving you comfortable movement while keeping that cute, slightly dramatic sleeve shape. There's a side front slit detail in the midi-length skirt that adds a touch of sophistication and makes walking easier. The bodice is lined with 100% polyester for comfort, and it has a left side zipper closure. Now, fair warning - no pockets on this one, but everything else about this dress is just lovely. The model is 5'8.5\ wearing a size 8, and the length from center back neck to hem is about 42 3/4 inches, so it's a true midi length on most people. Care is easy - machine wash cold, no bleach, reshape and lay flat to dry, then warm iron if needed. It's one of those dresses that works for weddings, brunch, garden parties, or any occasion where you want to look put-together but still feel comfortable and breezy.
