Traditional smocked bishop dress for girls, The Peasant Dress

This pattern is just like the original garment designed by Grace Knott except that it has been improved. Since Grace's death, her grandson has been running the smocking business she started so many years ago. He recently hired Judith Marquis to upgrade and improve many of Grace's patterns. Judith has added options to this smocked bishop dress which only had one choice for the placement of the opening (in the back). The pattern now includes two new variations, a front button placket opening down the center of the dress and a placket opening on the center of the sleeves. The smocked dress can be made with short sleeves or long sleeves.

Smocked bishop dresses are traditionally gathered around the neckline in a circle for smocking and the neck edge is then finished with self-bias trim. They always have raglan sleeves. The dress is typically made in soft pastel batistes or in calico prints. With just a little creativity you can give this dress a very Victorian look or give it a homespun country look. The smocking on the cuffs of the long sleeves is a beautiful added touch.
