From Vintage Romance to East Asian Street Style
The puff sleeve silhouette has long been associated with romantic dressing, but this version is styled for the modern wardrobe. Its square neckline and gathered details echo vintage tea dresses, while the mini length and body-skimming smocked waist bring it into contemporary Korean fashion, K-pop-inspired styling, and playful Y2K streetwear.

Care Notes
To help preserve the fabric, lining, gathered neckline, and smocked waist, gently hand wash or use a delicate cold cycle. Turn the dress inside out, avoid bleach and harsh detergents, reshape while damp, and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid excessive ironing over the elasticated bodice; use low heat or steam carefully when needed.
