This dress is beautiful and comfortable! The smocked top has a bit less stretch than a few of my other Ivy City Co smocked dresses, but it is still super comfy. I like the length, as well as all the details, like the little ruffle on the neckline and the layered sleeves!

This was going to be my first lovers collection purchase but i went with the sweetheart first. But ofc I went back to this because i LOVE my smocked dresses!!! This is beautiful! Colors just as the photos beautiful blush pink and beautiful ivy city quality material. The smocking does feel tighter compared to my Madeline dress. I did not size down due to other reviews and wad my only dislike on the dress. The first horizontal ruffle layer from waist did feel more snug and not as flared like other smocked dress from ivy. But very minor that it's still worth keeping. I ordered the XXL. So id say tts if you're bigger on the bottom or size down if you're small

Love the style and color of this dress! I especially love the slight sweetheart neckline to this smocked style it’s super flattering ! I just wish more dresses were offered in petite as the torso is slightly long on me...here I have it pulled up which makes the sleeves slightly too big on me but otherwise it fits beautiful! I’m usually between a S & M and I’m in a small !

I always loved this dress but never ordered it from the get-go. I guess I tend to shy away from smocking because I have a larger chest. After some of the other dresses didn’t work for me, I ordered the Tea Party in my normal size and omgoodness it is now my favorite!! The peach color is gorgeous, and the smocking is tighter knit, which apparently makes it more flattering. Sooo pretty. I wish it had bra strap loops so the sleeves didn’t slide off as much, but it’s a keeper no doubt! ☀️☕️

Beautiful! The fabric is great quality- light for spring/summer but lined. The Tea Party is a narrower fit than my other smocked styles, especially in the tier at the hips, but still TTS. I would not size down at all because of the first tier. The sleeve band is also a little snug but can be adjusted. It’s dreamy!

This dress is the dress of my dreams! I could not be more in love. I have never felt super comfortable in my body type, but this dress makes me feel so feminine and beautiful. The print is gorgeous and all of the little details are perfect. I am 5’2” and i feel like the length is great. I got a size small for reference.

Absolutely breathtaking! This dress makes me feel like a Jane Austen heroine. The perfect spring/summer picnic dress. I'll be wearing this all the time!

Absolutely love this dress. The sleeves are an issue for me they are kind of lose and show off my under garments but I’m going to get it tailored. I buy from ivy since I’m tired of fast fashion so I don’t mind spending a little bit more to make a dress so beautiful fit just right. I’d be bummed if I had to return it.

This is a beautiful dress!!! I love the print and all of the details. I love the puff sleeves and the little ruffles on them! The color is so pretty too! I decided to return it though because the sleeves won’t stay up. I think it needs a tie in the back, like some of the other smocked dresses. Also, the fabric was too stiff for me. I would have liked it to flow better. It is beautiful, but just not for me. I think the size chart is accurate. I’m wearing size XXS.

I do like the style of this dress, love the details - from the sleeves, the neckline and print! I think the price is a little high for the material, but i do still like it. Since it was smocked, I sized down, but it is a tiered dress, so the waist down was a little too small for me. I still like it, so im going to keep it. But for others deciding on it, make sure to check the measurements!

Oh my this dress! I have no words. Oh wait, here’s a few: Breathtaking. Stunning. Flattering. Lovely. Precious. Can’t wait to wear this in Spring! Thank you IvyCity for making beautiful dresses!

Stunning!!! I ordered 3 dresses from the lovers collection and this was the only one of the 3 that I was hesitant about because of the price, the sleeves, and the length. But I am SO glad that I went ahead and purchased this, I would 100% say it is worth the price. I am 5’7” and it is the perfect length, not too long or pioneer like at all. The sleeves aren’t overly puffy. The neckline is AMAZING! The print and the detail are next level! I sized down one because of the smocked bodice and it fits perfectly. My brother-in-law is getting married in April and I’ve been looking for a dress that goes with his colors, I didn’t buy this with the thought of wearing it to his wedding, but now I can’t even think of wearing anything else!
