I hand smocked this dress for my daughter around 28 years ago – the blue bird fabric was from Liberty in London and cost a small fortune, but I loved it! I used to make smocked dressed for a shop in Burford at that time and even then they sold for £30 – £40, or more depending on the amount of smocking. ‘Smocking is the decorative stitching that is used to control the pleats or gathers of loose-fitting, traditional blouses called smocks (also known as chemises or shifts). It is a simple yet very versatile and decorative form of embroidery. Smocking began in England in the 13th or 14th century. It consisted of linen fabric which was gathered into pleats, and then the pleats were secured with embroidery stitches. These decorative smocks were very practical outer garments that were worn by farm workers, mostly men, and children. They were smocked on the yoke and sleeves, and the stitching indicated the area from where the smock originated, and the embroidered designs also depicted the wearers’ occupation e.g. farmers would have symbols of the land, shepherds would have crooks and sheep, while gravediggers would have crosses. The smocks provided the wearer with protection and warmth from the cold winter winds while giving freedom of movement and stretch across the back, chest and sleeves and therefore not restricting their ability to work. With mechanisation, the loose garments became impractical and dangerous to wear near machinery and so the use of the smock gradually died out. However, as the use of the rural smock faded, smocking began to appear on woman’s and children’s clothing and so the art of smocking was not lost. Smocking on garments spread to Europe and later to the Americas, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In the early 20th century, the use of smocking to decorate garments was both popular and fashionable. The two World wars brought about many social and economic changes, and the availability of cheap mass produced adult clothing took over from the labour-intensive hand-smocked clothing, particularly in women’s clothing. However, smocking did continue as decoration on children’s clothing.’ Camera: Nikon D60; Lens: Nikkor 18-55mm
