Who It's Great For

Circle: The smocked, stretchy natural waist skims rather than cinches, making this a comfortable, forgiving choice through the midsection.
-
Triangle: The tiered maxi skirt adds volume below the waist, which balances narrower shoulders beautifully.
-
Hourglass: The smocked, stretchy natural waist follows your natural curves without fighting them, highlighting your waist.
-
Rectangle: The smocked, stretchy natural waist plus tiered maxi skirt creates the illusion of curves on a straighter frame.
-
Inverted Triangle: The tiered maxi skirt adds volume through the hip and leg, balancing broader shoulders.
