Smocked Bishop Tutorial by Laurie Anderson
A smocked bishop dress is a traditional garment for babies and little girls. A bishop dress is a loose fitting, comfortable style dress, and is the easiest smocked garment to construct. SWN member, Laurie Anderson has developed this wonderful tutorial demonstrating how to smock a bishop's dress. Laurie explains that for a bishop dress to be authentic, it must be smocked by hand from the neckline out to the shoulders with raglan sleeves. The front, back and shoulders are all smocked at the same time, creating a decorative round yoke.
The photo below features a smocked bishop's dress by another SWN member, Suzie Lambert.
