Everyone told me I look like a princess in this dress, and I felt like one too. My husband’s favorite dress silhouette on me is the Free Spirit, and he said this silhouette kind of reminds him of it. So while it’s not smocked, if you love the length and general shape of the Free Spirit dress, you’ll love this one too! It is a little big in the chest/shoulders, but I needed the 1X for the waist, and sizing down to the XXL is a big jump. The fabric is also even prettier in person. The photos don’t really do it justice. Also the sleeve openings are very comfortable, and I can’t say that about all puff sleeves.
