AllSaints Desert Smock Dress
AllSaints Desert Smock Dress in Black
The AllSaints Desert Smock Dress is an oversized dress based on a shirt dress style, made from pure A grade silk georgette. The dress has a button fastening down the front, a collar and short sleeves with ties around the edges. The shirt has darting which creates volume and subtle top stitching. It is called the “Desert” smock dress, because it’s style is inspired by a vintage military garment worn in desert combat.
It is available in UK sizes 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14.
Material: 100% silk
Style note: I love the softness of the silk used to create this dress, and you can either wear the dress as it is or cinch it with a wide or slim belt for a more structured silhouette. Simply complete the outfit with black boots and a bag, such as the AllSaints Nikah Bag and the matching Aster Boots.
