So Many Pretty (Smocked) Dresses

I'm not sure smocked dresses have been popular since the early 1990s (remember those strapless terry Juicy cover-ups?), but they are back and have come with a vengeance this summer. Personally I'm loving them, especially in the current iteration of pretty dresses that are flattering and comfortable. 

Here are some of my fave smocked frocks recently, in a range of pretty styles (and prices!):

Wallet-friendly dresses from:

OPT / ASTR the Label / Madewell / MINKPINK / BB Dakota

Mid-priced dresses from:

BAUM UND PFERDGARTEN / Roller Rabbit / Sokie Collective / RAILS / En Saison

Pricey but pretty dresses from:

XIRENA / Needle & Thread / THE GREAT. / Love The Label / Banjanan
