Does the smocked bodice stretch?

Yes. The smocked panel is elasticized, so it stretches over the bust and pulls on without a zipper.

How short is the mini length?

It is a true mini that ends above the knee. Taller shoppers report it sits quite high on the thigh.

Are the straps adjustable?

Yes. The straps adjust, so you can raise or lower the bodice to suit your torso.

What is the center tie?

A fabric tie sits at the center of the smocked bodice as a decorative detail.

Can I wear it to a dressy event?

It reads casual because of the ruffle hem and soft fabric. It works best for daytime, vacations and relaxed settings.

How should I care for it?

Follow the care label. The soft fabric wrinkles, so plan to steam or press it between wears.
