Tiny white flowers and grey-green leaves, each about the size of a fingernail, cover a warm, light apricot ground from neckline to hem, a soft peachy beige that is neither orange nor khaki, so the dress reads warm and pale from across the room. Elastic smocking runs in fine rows over the bodice and the cuffs, and a gathered ruffle tier finishes the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose your size\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in S, M, L, XL and XXL. The size chart on this page lists garment measurements for bust, waist, length and sleeve length, with inches first, then centimeters. Garment measurements are not body measurements. The bodice is fully smocked, and the bust and waist in the chart read much smaller than body measurements, so compare them with a smocked-bodice dress that fits you well rather than with your own measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eYour questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose my size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the garment measurements in the size chart on this page with a smocked-bodice dress that fits you well rather than with your own body measurements: the bodice is fully smocked, and the bust and waist in the chart read much smaller than body measurements. It lists bust, waist, length and sleeve length. Length runs from 41.3 in \/ 105 cm in S to 42.9 in \/ 109 cm in XXL, and your height changes where the hem lands. Inches appear first, then centimeters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long is this dress?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a midi that ends on the lower calf, above the ankle, and the loose skirt finishes in a gathered ruffle tier that swings out at the hem, as the front, side and back views show. Your height changes where the hem lands, so check the length for your size in the size chart on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear it on the shoulders, too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. In the photos for this color the straight, smocked neckline sits off the shoulders, across your upper chest and upper arms, and you can also pull it up onto your shoulders to wear it as a square neckline. The long lantern sleeves puff out and gather into a band of smocking with a small ruffle at the wrist, and the back has the same smocking with no zipper or buttons, so the dress simply pulls on. See the front close-up and the studio back view in the photos, and the lantern sleeve close-up in the material guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the smocked bodice fit, and how should I read the size chart?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bodice is smocked in many fine elastic rows, front and back, from the neckline to just under the bust, so it sits close and gives with your shape; below that the dress falls loose from an empire waist with room for your bump, and there is no belt or tie. The bust and waist in the size chart read much smaller than your own measurements, so compare them with a smocked-bodice dress that fits you well rather than with your body. For a closer look, see the close-up of her pinching a ruffled cuff beside a wicker cabinet and the smocked bodice close-up in the material guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Apricot Dawn mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApricot Dawn is our color story for the Nell dress in Apricot Floral: a new chapter shared with the people you love.
