I love smocking right now, and am using it on everything! Here's the first smocked dress I made. It was definitely experimental, but I think it turned out well and I learned a lot from it! I love the fabric especially- it is so cheerful and vintage-looking.I have a bunch of fabric all ready for more smocked dresses- I'm also planning on putting some of them on etsy, since I love to make them but can only keep so many! I also want to make another one of these with the same fabric. Check back to see the polka dot one that I'm working on now...
This dress looks so bright and attractive!
ReplyDeleteDon't you like the comfort that smocking adds to a garment? It makes such a soft elastic give that is much more attractive than elastic.
Keep up the good work. I like the outcome.
