Beautiful dress! I’m a bit intimidated by Canadian smocking. But now that I’ve seen your gorgeous dress, I’m determined to try it. How much extra fabric do you need for the smocked lower half?

amazing.

I love it!!! I used the lattice smocked technique that looked like that, I immediately fell in love. But you did a great job with the construction and pick ups.
