re: Your work is beautiful. I also "smocked" at one time..for my now 31 yr old daughter. I have a grand daughter but my dd said she wouldn't need any of the old fashioned stuff.. Sad face here. I also did bonnets, nightgowns, dresses and Christmas ornament. AND at one time I was making custom Bridal garters. Those were really fun.
Maybe future generations will want to wear them.

I love making little girl clothes, never smocked but admire it greatly, those are just adorable!

OMGsh! These are so beautiful! You need to have one of them framed in a sealed shadow box frame to keep in your sewing area. It's wonderful that your sister kept such care of them. They are a treasure!

oh my gosh! I have always loved smocking!
I never did any for my 3 dd's, bc I didn't know how back then.
These are such beautiful treasures and in such pristine condition.
You can tell they were and still are well loved.
What a precious picture of your niece wearing one.
This is such a beautiful story, it brings a tear. How gorgeous!
