Smocked Dresses Are Everywhere This Summer—And Old Navy Has One for $18 That’s Selling Out

Old Navy Fit & Flare Smocked-Bodice Midi Dress

Every summer, without fail, there’s at least one dress style I start seeing everywhere—and I mean everywhere—I turn. This year? Smocked dresses, no question. And it’s no wonder why. They’re comfortable (and by that, I mean super stretchy), have a bit of a vintage flair, and are so easy to throw on. And because they have a fair amount of structure, you may not even need a bra. The biggest win of all, am I right?

You could spend a lot on a designer smocked dress, but why would you when I found a few gorgeous gems at none other than Old Navy? They start as low as $9 right now, with all of my picks landing under $30. So, yeah, they’re practically giving them away...

I found several dresses (like this orange Fit & Flare Smocked-Bodice Midi that’s giving dopamine dressing) that are made of 100% twill cotton, which stay nice and breathable on hot summer days. The other mini, midi, and maxis I found below are made of a mix of fabrics, like cotton and rayon (less wrinkling!), or an extra-lightweight polyester for a flowy look.

Here’s the TL;DR: Old Navy is having a massive sale right now, with so many cute smocked dresses marked down in regular, petite, and tall sizes. Select sizes and colors have already sold out, though, so if you see the summer dress (or dresses) of your dreams, run to checkout.
