Model is 5'7\" in size Small. V-neck, natural waist, relaxed flared skirt. The ombre effect isn't printed or screen-applied; it's the result of how the dye absorbs through the tiered layers differently, which makes each dress slightly unique. If between sizes, size up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one required looking — Bailey Renée is a women-owned Portland, Maine brand that produces in small runs, botanical-dyes by hand, and has made in the USA as a foundation of their practice, not a marketing point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCotton that breathes without being thin — the tiered skirt has enough layers to create movement and a little weight at the hem. The puff sleeves are gathered at the shoulder and taper toward the bodice; they don't float or bag. The wrap bodice adjusts the fit at the waist, which makes the dress work across a range of proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress for the summer dinner where you want to show up looking like you tried without looking like you tried.

Each tier of the skirt absorbs pigment differently, which produces the cream-to-sage shift naturally. That's a process that takes significantly more time than flat-dyeing, and it's the reason the color has depth rather than uniformity. Chosen, not just listed — the construction and the process together made this worth carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyle It Three Ways\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSummer dinner:\u003c\/strong\u003e White strappy sandals, a simple gold chain, and small hoop earrings — the ombre gradient handles all the visual weight, no accessories needed to compete.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaytime brunch:\u003c\/strong\u003e White sneakers and a minimal tote bag — the wrap bodice tucks comfortably and the tiered skirt moves well when you're sitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden party:\u003c\/strong\u003e Block heel mules in a neutral and a single floral hair accessory — the sage hem pairs with any green-adjacent accessories you already own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Fashion And Icon","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":41926161465424,"sku":"001100","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"S","offer_id":41926161498192,"sku":"001101","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":41926161530960,"sku":"001102","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":41926161563728,"sku":"001103","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":41926161596496,"sku":"001104","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/3852\/files\/Poet-Dress.jpg?v=1767049787","url":"https:\/\/www.fashionandicon.com\/products\/poet-botanical-balloon-sleeve-mini-dress","provider":"Fashion And Icon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
