Join our first-ever Smock & Sew-a-Long (SAL) to make a Holiday Dress together!

Introducing the Smock & Sew-a-Long (SAL) Holiday Dress!

You’re invited to smock and sew along with us each week as we make a beautiful Holiday dress together! This Smock & Sew-a-long experience starts on Friday, Oct. 4th and ends on Friday, Nov. 15th, 2024. It’s the perfect way to follow along with us as we release new video instructions every week to guide you through the process. You’ll have an adorable dress ready before Thanksgiving so you can schedule your Holiday photos!

For a community of support, you may join our new private Facebook group called “Lace Cottage SAL - Smock & Sew-a-Long”.

We also have a special newsletter for this Smock & Sew-a-long (SAL) experience with an optional newsletter sign-up HERE.

Weekly videos will be posted both in the group and sent to you in the weekly SAL newsletter. If you have a delay or get off track, don’t worry! The videos will always be in the group or found in your email. We won’t delete them - they’re a wonderful learning tool! 

The videos made by the Lace Cottage crew will take you through all of the steps - blocking, smocking, construction, and everything you need to do so this darling dress is ready to wear! It’s a great way to stay on track!

This magnificent dress kit will be available in two choices of fabric, Swiss Batiste or Japanese Lawn, with an optional lace package to add on.

The kit will contain: a cut to size pleated dress front, fabric to finish your dress, pearl buttons, interfacing for back yokes, cording for piping, a smocking plate, and DMC floss. The Olivia dress pattern is not included in this kit but is available for purchase separately.

The most exciting part is a special prize drawing we’re having for a $250 Lace Cottage gift card!

To enter, all you need to do is show us a photo of your completed dress by Nov. 30th. We’ll enter your name into a prize drawing! Everyone who finishes will be eligible to win! You may submit photos in the Facebook group, by email to our shop, or come in by 3 pm on Saturday, November 30th and we’ll take your photo in the shop!

We’re excited about this precious dress and having fun making it together! Come on and smock along!
