Smocked Dresses & Outfits
Smocked dresses and outfits for girls have a classic look that never goes out of style and can be handed down through generations. Fine hand smocked dresses are truly an investment that you can save for your grandchildren to cherish!
Most smocking is done by hand, the quality and detail of the smocking as well as the fabric is what determines price. Fine European fabrics, like those used by Sophie Dess, sell for a higher price. Combine the fine European fabrics with more intricate smocking and embroidery and you have a beautiful dress that is truly special. Vive La Fete is a brand known for it's intricate hand smocked designs.
With proper care, smocked dresses are designed to last. Fine smocking should never be machine dried. Manufacturers recommend line drying after washing in the delicate cycle.
