Little Tradition
Published on Thursday 5th July 2007

As much as I love little fashion I love little tradition more. The smocked dresses that my mother dressed me in from a young age are as timeless today as they were then and I was over the moon when a clear out not long ago uncovered a box of dresses that she had kept (everything else went to a long line of cousins).

Freshly cleaned and carefully wrapped, they’re now tucked safely away (though not so safely that we’ll forget about them for another 25 years!) until I, or one of my siblings, can put them to good use again.

You see to me there’s really nothing more angelic than little girls in smocked dresses, and if you’re inclined to agree then I’d really recommend a visit to Boutique Enfant . In their summer sale you’ll find a range of the prettiest hand smocked dresses as well as classic cashmere jumpers for girls, boys and babies.
