Please note: On shipping rates, sometimes they get a little crazy high with the higher totals of items you order as our cart is set up for price and not weight (too difficult to weigh everything), rest assured we hand calculate every order to the correct rate according to what you have purchased. We are extremely reasonable and refund any overages of s/h on orders paid through Paypal.

This site is missing of our fabrics, laces, embroideries, antiques and Ready to Smock so you may have to view things on the old site pages which are not linked to the shopping cart but you can add these items in the comments section of our cart. Each page on this site is linked to where the merchandise is located. If you wish to see all of the items we carry please go to our original site at http://www.smockingstore.com, and while it is not entirely under a secure socket layer as this one, the shopping cart is most secure under a shared very secure socket layer. Stay tuned, we still have some tweaking to do.

This is only a temporary situation, we do apologize.

If you can't see the left side-boxes alongside the middle section your browser needs upgrading but the cart should still work, if not send us an email with your phone number, a good time to call and we will call to complete your order.

We are very flexible about taking orders, over the phone, through email and Paypal or through the shopping cart ... your preference. If you feel intimated by our cart you can always choose one of the other ways to order. The cart and account set up just helps us and you keep track of your orders.
