There's something about a smocked dress that instantly makes an outfit feel more comfortable. Maybe it's the stretchy fitted bodice, the flowy skirt or the effortlessly feminine silhouette, but it's one of those rare styles that manages to look polished without wanting to rip it off after a few hours. Smocked dresses are also a trend that keeps popping up at brands like Reformation season after season, proving it's much more than a passing summer fad. Luckily, getting that signature expensive aesthetic doesn't have to come with a high-end price tag. I rounded up affordable styles that deliver the same elevated look as Reformation's popular styles. Whether you're drawn to delicate floral prints, romantic white dresses or elegant halter silhouettes, there's something for everyone. Even better, these Reformation-inspired finds start at just $22!
