The famous smock dress is not a new trend. This style of dress has been around since the 19th Century and it's a trend that is here to stay. Smock dresses are unstructured, voluminous, loose fitting and lightweight in its materials. They are well-known for their comfortability as they are not made from tight and stretchy material. Smock dresses do not cling nor form to the body, meaning they do not bother you after hours of wearing like some other dresses do, and Dress for a Night has the perfect picks for you if you want to be feeling comfortable while looking glamorous at your next event.

What Is A Smock Dress?
How To Wear A Smock Dress
Smock dresses are also well-known for their versatility. They can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the event you are going to and there is nothing better than wearing a dress that is also extremely comfortable.
Smock frocks are great for all shapes and sizes, whether you are tall or short and big busted or small busted. This is why we love the smock dress, it suits all body shapes and are super flattering. Smock dresses are also perfect for pregnant ladies and make great maternity wear as they do not feel tight around the tummy area. Even with the trapezoid shape the smock dress has, it gives the illusion of slimmer legs and also hides the parts that we want to cover up.
How To Style A Smock Dress
Now, you may be thinking, how do you style a smock frock? Dress for a Night has got you covered! If you're looking to wear a smock dress to a more casual event such as cocktails with the girls, party nights or date nights, we recommend styling the dress with some sandals, jewellery and a clutch or handbag. If you're going clubbing and dancing the night away, you can also never go wrong with a pair of sneakers!
If you're wanting something comfortable for more formal events such as cocktail parties, glamorous functions and events or even fancy date nights, we love smock dresses styled with boots as well as knee-high boots, or your favourite pair of heels. Accessories such as jewellery can be minimal around the neck and chunky on the hands, wrists and even a big pair of earrings to look as glam as possible. Pair the smock dress with a clutch or handbag to complete the look.
