The Smocked Waist Full Gathered Midi Skirt in Cobalt Blue & Black by Max Studio
A breathtakingly beautiful, effortlessly romantic midi skirt that brings a charming all-over dense ditsy floral print, a fully smocked waistband, and a dramatic contrast border hem together in one genuinely show-stopping warm-weather piece. The sheer, ultra-lightweight chiffon is covered in a beautifully layered all-over dense ditsy floral print — small, intricate soft white and pale cream floral clusters, delicate cornflower blue and periwinkle wildflower blooms, and fine trailing stems layered freely and densely across a rich, saturated cobalt blue ground — with a dramatic wide contrast border at the hem — a deep, graphic black ground scattered with the same delicate white and cream ditsy floral clusters — that adds a beautifully bold, editorial finishing touch. The defining design detail is the fully smocked waistband — dense, precise rows of elastic smocking running the full depth of the waistband — that cinches and defines the natural waist with a beautifully comfortable, flexible fit.
