It may surprise some people, but quality smocked clothing can be economical.  When you buy clothing for special occasions, you generally expect to pay more.  So if you compare smocked clothing and non-smocked clothing, you will find that the smocked clothes will fit a child much longer and then can be passed down to other children rendering the dollars spent to yield more benefits.

		<title>Smocked Clothes:Fitting Tips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is important to choose a garment style that is appropriate to the age or body style of the child. Dresses that have a waistline are not flattering to a baby or a toddler. Bishop dresses are a great standby for both infants and toddlers. Waistline styles do not flatter heavy children. A bishop style or a high yoke is much more attractive. Conversely, if a child is thin, be careful not to make her dresses too long so that they accent her thinness. An older child of nine or ten usually looks better in a more tailored dress style than a bishop type dress. Fortunately, pleats with smocking are flattering to everyone.]]></description>
