Floral Smocked Sleeveless Fit & Flare Midi Dress

I at first bought this dress in the black & white material in size 2. The pockets were sewn facing the back. It was snug in the chest area and a little tight getting over my head. I took it back to the store. and bought this version/fabric in both size 2 & 4. I took the 2 back and kept the 4. I’m not used to the immediate flare at the waist where the smocking ends. At first thought I looked “hippy” but eventually decided I liked it. The colors are beautiful and it’s a fun dress with pockets!
