Smocked Maxi Skirt in Pompeian Blooms

The Emerson Fry Smocked Maxi Skirt in Pompeian Blooms is hand block printed on organic cotton and finished with rows of smocking that give it a shape-shifting quality most skirts can't touch. Wear it as a maxi skirt with a tucked linen shirt, or pull it up and wear it as a strapless dress — same piece, completely different look. The Pompeian Blooms print is rich without being loud, earthy without being dull.

Why She'll Love It

It solves the packing problem without sacrificing anything. One piece, two silhouettes, zero ironing required. Whether she's island-hopping or just navigating a long weekend, this skirt does the work of three.

Fit & Feel

Organic cotton with real weight to it — not sheer, not stiff. The smocked waist has natural give, so it moves with you rather than against you. The lining keeps it from clinging, and the maxi length hits the ankle on most frames, giving it that easy, unhurried drape.

What Makes It Different

Hand block printed and dyed using low-impact dye in Rajasthan, India — so the print has the slight variation and warmth that only comes from being made by hand. The smocking isn't decorative; it's structural, and it's what makes the skirt-to-dress conversion actually work.

How to Wear It

As a skirt: pair with a fitted tank or a relaxed button-down knotted at the waist. As a dress: add a denim jacket or a light layer and flat sandals. Both ways, keep accessories minimal — the print does enough.

Fit Note

The smocked waist stretches to accommodate a range of sizes — see the size chart below for waist, hip, and length measurements by size. Maxi length (37.5"–39" depending on size) will hit at or near the ankle on most frames; petite wearers may prefer it as a dress.

• XS: Waist 24½", Hip 42", Length 37½"
• S: Waist 26½", Hip 44", Length 38"
• M: Waist 28½", Hip 46", Length 38½"
• L: Waist 30½", Hip 48", Length 39"
