Went into Kohls today for a picture frame and there was a cute smocked bodice dress right near the door. I've been seeing them everywhere online.

 

Blast from the past. Even smocked tube tops! are back.

@NicksmomESQ I remember a white smocked top I had with a print of purple flowers. It had straps with little ruffles on them. I thought I was IT in that top. I've always been flat chested so that was never an issue. My Mom let me wear it, I was young enough that she still had a say in that.

Re: Smocked Tops And Dresses

Wow, fashion today makes you wish you actually kept everything

from a few decades ago... well at least some of it anyhow.

 

I remember tube tops and tube top sundresses well. Had enough of them for sure.

Don’t think the girls would look so cute as they did back then though in one now! 😂!

This is the dress at Kohls. I love the pastel colors with the gingham, it's subtle. It's Lauren Conrad

You can find smocking just at the waist too, or on sleeve cuffs

The bustline of the tankini top I wore today is was smocked, it really stayed in place which was nice since I wore it with out the straps

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Re: Smocked Tops And Dresses

Smocked tops look great but they outline everything.  Also, someone will say "I CAN" get into a (smaller size) when the dress is stretched as far as it will go.Smiley Embarassed
