J.Crew Smocked Puff-Sleeve Dress

WHY YOU NEED IT: A smocked waist, puff sleeves, and midi length make this a dress super easy to dress up or down. 

USER REVIEW: "In love with this dress! It feels both casual and elegant. I’d wear it every day if I could. The fabric is sturdy without being stiff, the puffy sleeves give a romantic feel, and the smocking creates a beautiful silhouette. I also find the neckline very becoming (I worried it might be too wide to cover my bra straps, but that’s not the case). [...]"

WHY YOU NEED IT: This plaid dress is basically like wearing an oversized flannel shirt. If that doesn't make you want to add it to your cart immediately, we don't know what will. 

USER REVIEW: "This fits just like the other Colette dresses, nice and relaxed but with a flattering v-neck and babydoll fit. Not too short. Also made of the softest flannel material ever. It's more green and less blue than it looks in the photo. I'll wear this all fall and winter!"

The thicker fabric doesn't wrinkle, which makes it perfect for travel. Wear it with heels for a dressy look or keep it casual with sneakers—the options are endless."—Taylor DeBaylo, Site Merchandising Associate
