Examples of smocking or embroidery on pleated fabric from around the world can be found in museums showing handicrafts of indigenous cultures. As with all fold sewing traditions, smocking was handed down from generation to generation. Smocked garments can be found in paintings and wooden carvings as early as the 12th century. The use of smocking in everyday garments started in England sometime during the 13th or 14th centuries. Linen fabric would be gathered into pleats, and then the pleats were secured with embroidery stitches. Smocking is the decorative stitching that is used to control the pleats or gathers of loose-fitting, traditional blouses called smocks, also known as chemises or shifts. These decorative smocks were very practical outer garments that were worn by farm workers, mostly men, and children. However with the start of the Industrial Age, the large flowing smocked garments worn by rural farmers began to disappear. Smocking remained a decorative element for children and women's clothing, becoming popular and quite fashionable during the early 20th century. Today the fine art of smocking is a craft practiced by numerous seamstresses. There is a proliferation of publications and web sites catering to the modern day sewer wanting to learn about smocking.
