Every little girl needs a smocked dress made of Liberty Fabric. I had one, a few in fact. I made 2 or 3 for my daughter and now is time to make one for my grand daughter. I use the lawn because it is just the right weight for our weather and great to smock.
When I went to their website I found this video about the current collection. The inspiration and the designers.
I was very interested to see that they had incorporated some Digital prints. This form or printing has been threatening for a number of years. The high end pieces were made in Italy, so this is an interesting addtion.
For me, with the exchange rate so good for the Ausi Dollar, now is the time to buy. But which print? May be more than one.
It's fascinating to go around the shop and see the variety of prints they are producing these days. They don't all instantly scream "Liberty", but they are all interesting and versatile.

I am so glad Liberty have had a revival. That company has turned itself around.
