Merchant & Mills : The Cawley Smock Pattern
A twist on an artist’s smock designed by Cawley Studio. Featuring front welt and in-seam pockets with an optional belt. Perfect in utility cloth.
"The smock garment that Cawley has designed for Merchant and Mills is based on a farmer’s smock. The pleats at the neck give the dress a beautiful volume and the pockets on the chest add a utilitarian feel. I always want our garments to feel practical and easy to wear and I think this dress is a great all rounder. " Designer Hannah Cawley from Cawley Studio
