Such a lovely nightgown. I apologize for the photograph, will try and get a new one soon, but if you look carefully at the yoke you will see that it's lace and tucks with a button down front. The smocking comes from the yoke as well as on the sleeves. You can doll this nightgown up as much as you want or lengthen the sleeves and make it out of plain old flannel. Smocking on the shoulders with ribbon weaving.
Pattern comes with it's own smocking design.
Such a pretty blouse. I have seen this lengthened for a dress, just add in more buttons and a sash or belt. The back is real unique as it has lacing for your closure. This is a perfect pattern for your fussy older girl who says she has grown out of smocking. This pattern is just one of the beauties from the Contessa collection.
