My lovely friends at Oasap.com sent me this dress. I have a bit of a hate/hate relationship with the ever popular ‘smock’ dress ;) but I adored the print of this one and the colours were just made for me so I thought I’d give it a go. For once, Oasap’s sizing being a bit on the small side really worked for me as what really puts me off smock dresses is the ridiculously over the top sizing. I love the way this one creates a nice hourglass shape, whilst still skimming over my lumps and bumps and flaring out, smock-style.
Adding a flowing, jersey cardigan, a long necklace and a floppy, felt hat gives a soft, boho style to the dress which would be great to wear out for the day or night; comfort and style! Secondly I changed my tights for denim leggings and my cardigan for a casual lumberjack shirt to create an outfit perfect for a long walk through the woods with your favourite pooch.
I’m still not sure I’m swayed on smock dresses in general, but I love this one! If you want to avoid that sack-like look too, try sizing down on smock dresses from other stores, but for me at a size 12/14 this one from Oasap is the perfect fit.

What do you think of this trend? Will you be sizing down if you make a purchase?
