An acquaintance shared this

with me. It's a find in the Museum of London.

I went to the Liberty's fabric exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum last year and saw examples of some exquisite smocked children's clothing.

I made a few hand-smocked dresses for my daughter when she was a baby - proper hand-smocked, not gathered then embroidered over

It makes you wonder about the person who wore it doesn't it? I really don't know how they did it in those days, tools were so primitive in comparison to what we have today and only candlelight to see by

Lovely, probably done by some lowly embroiderer for someone wealthy. I tried smocking when my DD was little as I was 'into' embroidery at the time, the dress was hand smocked but I didn't do any more either then or since.
