I was googling "bishop dresses and blogs" and found you! I have learned to smock and am learning to sew - that's taking longer than desired! I see you said you sell ready-to-smock dresses? Could you contact me and let's talk? My email address is: blogabooboo@gmail.com I'm VERY interested! Thanks!
I use the Chery Williams pattern for bishops, you have to add some length, but I find it easier to use than the Ellen McCarn version of the bishop dress. I wouldn't call making a bishop dress easy for a beginner becuase it has many of the heirloom sewing techniques that take a little practice to master. Look to see if they offer a class at a local sewing store of how to put a bishop together, once you "get it" then it is like riding a bicycle. I haven't made one in months and wouldn't even have to get the directions out to put one together. Good Luck Gabriela

Hi. I'm new to sewing. Is it hard to make those bishop dresses? What pattern do you use?
Thanks,
Gabriela
