Lil Maxi Dress

Searching for a block print maxi dress with a flattering smocked fit and enough color to actually make getting dressed fun? The Lil Maxi Dress is THAT dress.

The print on this one is unreal. A soft blush-pink background is covered in an intricate botanical block print with olive, turquoise and deep pink details—and the closer you get, the prettier it gets. It has all the richness we love for fall without giving up COLOR.

Then there's that bodice. Just like her mini sister, the Lil Maxi features incredibly generous smocking designed to stretch and conform to your body. This one-size style fits approximately sizes 0–18, giving you definition through the bust and waist before falling into a gorgeous, full maxi skirt that doesn't cling through the tummy or hips.

She's also 100% cotton and machine washable, because a beautiful dress that requires a complicated relationship with your dry cleaner isn't nearly as cute.

Wear her now with a hat, boots and chunky jewelry like we did. Add a denim jacket when it cools down, or dress her up for fall family pictures, brunch, showers, church, Thanksgiving festivities or anywhere you want your outfit to do a little showing off.

Why you’ll love it

Fit and sizing reference: Kristi is 5’5” 165lb (at the time these photos were taken) 36C and street size M & 29/9 in jeans. She's wearing the One Size. The generous smocking gives this dress a huge amount of stretch while still creating shape at the waist. The full skirt leaves plenty of room through the tummy and hips, making this one of those rare dresses that feels incredibly forgiving without looking oversized.

And if you're usually scared of one-size clothing, this is not the "one size fits three very similar people" situation. This bodice STRETCHES.

She's colorful. She's comfortable. She's cotton. And that print? Good luck wearing her without somebody asking where you got your dress.
