- How to Style It:
- Opt for a soft pastel or ivory midi dress with an elasticated smocked bodice and puffed off-shoulder sleeves.
- Style with delicate layered shell jewelry and metallic ankle-wrap flat sandals.
- Style your hair in loose beach waves or a messy braided crown.
- Tips & Variations: Pull the sleeves up over the shoulders for a square-neck alternative, or style with a crochet waist sash.
