Shirts reconstructed: smocked kilt




Until now I have been smocking either circles of fabric or tight strips of fabric. I wanted to utilize the volume of fabric aspect of smocking, the way that a lot of fabric is gathered and can create a lot of fullness. I decided to create a kilt style skirt to experiment with this, which was extremely successful. I now plan to continue with this idea creating continuous lengths that can be wrapped around to create longer skirts.
