We THINK this dress is one from Australian Smocking and Embroidery….and, if any of you faithful AS&E sewists know which one, we would be thrilled to add the information to this post!

******************************************************************

Addendum:  The AS&E smocking plate has been identified {Thanks, Tamara!!}!!! It is from Issue No.40, 1997 and is the “Living Dolls” smocking plate. It was originally presented in the magazine as one of two corduroy rompers.
