I just discovered an amazing new smocking technique! I can't wait for my girl to design it into one of her dresses so I can try it out. Instead of just gathering fabric together, it actually creates a lattice look. The pic at the left shows how cool it really is.
The costume designers used this technique on Padme's robe in Star Wars. They said they used 25-50 yards of fabric to create it. Can you imagine? To put that into context, it is 1/2 a football field. :) If you wanna see it, here 'tis.
Have a project you want me to try it out on? Please?
