Amanda Remembered Dresses -Smocked Clothing

See above a simple, but classic smocked bishop dress perfect for spring and summer. This is just an example of the quality construction and smocking designs incorporated in Amanda Remembered clothing.

A little about Amander Remembered children's clothing:
"It's not the dresses that make the children beautiful; it's the children that make the dresses beautiful. The look is simple and traditional, yet the embroidery is intricate, every stitch sewn by hand."

Amanda Remembered now makes clothes that are sold in 430 stores in 15 states. The beautiful, handmade children's clothing is available for preview on the web and for purchase at your local boutique.

There is an interesting ( and sad) story behind the forming of the Amanda remembered line of children's clothing. I will tell you the first part of the story here and you can head over to the Amanda Remembered home website to read the rest.

"What began as a way to cope with her young daughter's death has developed into a successful business for Barbara Meadows."

Barbara Meadows' mother taught her to sew in grammar school, how to make every stitch, hem and seam just perfect, so the inside of a dress was nearly as pretty as the outside.

Barbara hoped she would one day teach her 6-month-old daughter, Amanda , the same stitches.

She sewed every day at Amanda's bedside in a children's cancer ward, smocking and embroidering dresses Amanda could wear when she beat leukemia and left the hospital in Augusta.

Then two weeks before Amanda's second birthday-after much sewing, hoping, and praying-the struggle was over.

Amanda died on Feb.28, 1987.
