The Somerset Smocking Company

The Somerset Smocking Company carries forward the rich heritage of traditional smocking, a centuries-old embroidery technique that first emerged in the Middle Ages as a practical way to gather fabric for flexibility and ease of movement. 

Over time, smocking evolved into a refined art form, particularly beloved in children’s clothing during the Victorian era, when hand-stitched pleats and delicate embroidery became symbols of elegance and care. 

Rooted in this tradition, The Somerset Smocking Company, based in the heart of Somerset, creates heirloom-quality dresses and pyjamas using luxurious natural fabrics. 

Each piece is meticulously hand-smocked by skilled artisans, blending historical craftsmanship with timeless British charm, ensuring every garment is as beautiful as it is enduring.
