  1. Awww another beautifully colourful post....such gorgeous dresses and girls wearing them! I was thinking that apart from a couple of not so great ones that I made myself, I didn't have any smocked dresses, but I do in fact have just the one....it's by Ruth of Ruthsdolls and came with my Bailey when she arrived from Shelly! However, I don't really have a great closeup photo like the ones above, but will send you a copy all the same. Don't feel obliged to add it though, I'm only sending it in case Bailey thinks I don't love her!!!!
    Big hugs Sharon xxx

  2. Dee...love the post. The dresses are amazing! They are all so different with the pale colours looking so delicate & the bright colours looking so strong. Love them all. The outfits look smart with matching hair ribbons, socks & shoes. The jackets look like lovely soft wool complete with matching embroidery. Such attention to detail. Everything coordinated & immaculately presented. The workmanship in the dresses is outstanding. Do these dresses come up for sale? Does Catherine French have a wait list a mile long? Makes me laugh to think that my Bronwyn is wearing sparkly high tops - something that my granddaughter would do. I do have white leather shoes she could have worn however, I was in fun mode. This is a post that I shall revisit from time to time with serious smock envy...sigh...Carol

    1. I agree they are amazing these outfits, so gorgeous, definitely worth a second, third ,forth look!
      Most of the dresses if you keep an eye open you may be able to snap one up but Catherine French....well....Hen's teeth as I have said......you need to be in the right car park with some paper money watch for the light to fade the car lights to flash once twice, then cross pass over your cash accept the small paper bag ,be careful not to get run over as the car speeds past then hope in side the bag is a Catherine French couture smocked dress and not a half eaten pasty!!!
      Hattie loves Bronwyn's sparkly high tops!! She only wished I would have let her wear her union jack festival ones!!
