Smocked Dress

I actually did this smocking a long time ago and just now finally got around to constructing the dress. This was the first time I used a pattern for the smocking (from an Australian Smocking and Embroidery magazine). I really like how it resembles lace. I think the dress turned out really nice. It does need to be ironed in the front after sitting around for months in my bag of unfinished smocking projects.



Isaac took this picture, and it turned out better than any of mine did:
