Country / Farming SmockContext
Smocks are worn over the wearer’s clothes. They are usually made from cotton, mostly twill weave, also known as ‘drabbet’, or linen. Most smocks are naturally coloured, ranging from creamy white to dark brown. Smocks are largely recognisable by their smocking and embroidery. Although they vary in detail and skill, these elements provide decoration and comfort. Smocking provides stretch and ease of movement, allowing the smock to better fit the wearer.Category
