Product Insights
This rare Smythe non-blazer dress carries the brand's tailoring cachet, fitting true to size like their blazers, with side pleats that add subtle hip volume for a gentle flare while remaining fitted. Care requires dry cleaning or cold hand wash.
Verified claims
- Collectibility
- Smythe is primarily known for blazers, so this non-blazer dress is a distinctive way to get the brand's tailoring cachet.
- Sizing
- Fits true to size, consistent with Smythe's blazer sizing; if between sizes, consider sizing down because the stretch viscose jersey has some give.
- Side pleat silhouette
- Side pleats add subtle hip volume for a gentle flare while the dress stays fitted, rather than lying flat against the body.
- Care
- Professional cleaning is recommended; dry clean or hand wash in cold water, do not bleach, iron low, avoid tumble drying, and hang to dry.

| Side Pleats Floral Dress: Choose this if you want a long, ankle-length dress in a close-fitting, body-skimming silhouette — it is a soft stretch viscose jersey (95% viscose, 5% spandex) with a crew neck, fitted long sleeves, and subtle pleating at the hip, printed with an all-over floral on a dark ground. It suits shoppers who like a defined waist and a straight, column skirt with slight ease, and it is made in Canada in sizes small through x-large in an assorted color. Note that the fit is form-fitting through the bodice and hips with no visible back slit or front closures, which may not suit those preferring a looser cut.[1,2,3,4] | Ruched V-Neck Dress: Choose this if you want a form-fitting, ankle-length maxi dress with long sleeves, a plunging deep V-neck, and a central twisted knot at the waist that creates radiating ruched folds, finished with a gently flared, fluidly draping skirt. It suits shoppers drawn to a bold, all-over abstract fan or shell motif in bright blue on a dark navy field, cut from stretchy, flowy jersey (93% rayon, 7% elastane shell with a polyester and cupro rayon lining) and made in Canada. Note that the fitted silhouette and plunging neckline are inherent to the design, and it measures about 64.25 inches (163.0 cm) from the top of the shoulder, so check the length against your height.[5,6,7,8] | Asymmetrical Pictorial Floral Maxi Dress: Choose this if you want a one-shoulder, sleeveless maxi with a fitted bodice, asymmetric neckline, and a low-waist gathered skirt that flows into a floor-length fit-and-flare silhouette. It is made from 100% viscose with a satiny, lightweight drape and an all-over painterly floral print in blue and aqua tones on a warm brown ground, offered in sizes 2 through 12 and made in Canada. Note that as worn on the model the skirt pools slightly at the floor, which may vary with your height.[9,10,11,12] |
