Antique smocks at the WI’s Denman College

Some beautiful examples of English antique smocking and to think this was work wear! This was posted on Marie-Louise Avery’s site which I would recommend you visit for the great recipes and beautiful photography

I was at Denman college, the education college of the WI, doing a food shoot for their magazine, when I discovered a temporary exhibition of traditional English smocks.
My father had an interest in smocks when I was a child so I have always taken note of them and this was a magnificent collection.
