Ready to Smock Chery Williams Basic Square Yoke

The Basic Square Yoke is a classic design that suits any little girl, and some older big girls. This is the style of dress that you see most often in Creative Needle, Sew Beautiful, Australian Smocking & Embroidery magazines. Our Ready-to-Smock Basic Square Yoke dresses can be made from any fabric listed in many color choices so you can have fun designing your own dress. The dress is pleated for smocking in the front with a sash for back tie. We recommend a low back as it's prettier but you can choose high if you prefer.  Collars and Cuffs come piped.  Your collar choices are either a piped Peter Pan collar (white unless you tell us different) or a Scalloped or Peter Pan collar.  You have your choice of short or long sleeves, high back yoke or drop back yoke.

EXTRAS!!! If you wish to have the collar hemstitched and lace attached you can either choose to attach lace yourself or else choose either Narrow French Lace, Medium Width French Lace or Wide French Lace.   There is an extra charge for each of these options.

We've added in samples of fabrics to help spark your imagination, click on link to see more.
