Smocked Dresses

My mom makes the most exquisite smocked dresses.  I've been so lucky that she's made them for my daughter.  She taught me how to smock and I have to say that I have a greater appreciation for the work it takes to make one of these lovely dresses.  It is pretty tedious, but when it is complete you have a great sense of satisfaction. Here is a recent dress that she made for my daughter and niece.
