Loretta Caponi – Loretta Smocked Cotton-chambray Maxi Dress – Womens – Blue

Loretta Caponi – Loretta Caponi’s eponymous blue maxi dress is framed by yellow and orange smocking around the yoke and cuffs, which is a needlework technique that has been used since the Middle Ages to bring decorative elasticity to dressmaking. Made in Italy from cotton chambray, it drapes from a ruffled high neck and peasant sleeves, to a gathered shape that’s nipped in by a detachable waist tie.
