Summer Smocking dresses
The 16th century smocking pattern of stitching has undergone a transformation from when it was first introduced. Not limited to neck, collar and cuff patterns, it is used in dresses, halter tops, full length dresses and also in our salwars and kurtas. These smocking patterns are sweet and chic and can range from pool to party dresses .The top part of the dress can be detailed with smocking and the rest of it can be a floral pattern which will give it an elegant look. The same can be done to the waist part also where it holds the waist elegantly. The harem pants also come with smocking pattern where you can teem it with a short top .
You can find a variety of patterns of smocking and incorporate the same in your dresses. Check with your designer or tailor who can do that for you and make trendy clothes to wear. The smocking short top can also be used a blouse for your sarees too!
Be it a top, kurta , maxi dress, halter neck top or a kaftan , you can have the smocking work done and look as elegant as Queen Victoria did in those days.
