Dressie Jessie Smocking Turns 6 and a Giveaway!
Hello! I've never been more grateful to add a year under my belt. I won't lie...year 5 to year 6 was a hard one. The pandemic rocked our world in ways that I couldn't have imagined, but one day at a time, we made it through. I'm incredibly grateful.
This year has been one of much reflection, and I thought as we celebrate 6 years in business, it would be appropriate to share with you the "why" behind Dressie Jessie Smocking: my family. Here we are!
My husband, Rhett, and I just celebrated 26 years of marriage. He is my number one supporter, and I truly could not operate this business without him. (Side note: he is a huge UNC fan and despite my best efforts, he's always dressed in his Carolina gear, lol). We have 3 sons and 1 daughter. Nathan (22) is a chemical engineering major at Virginia Tech. Matt (21) is a marketing major at Virginia Tech. Andrew (18) also plans to major in marketing but is breaking the mold and heading to James Madison University in the fall. Caroline (15) is wrapping up her first year of high school and is anxiously awaiting her driver's license which is coming too soon for this momma! These 5 are my world. Now that our children are (mostly) grown, I find myself looking at them in complete awe. Wasn't it just yesterday my boys were in jon-jons and Caroline in smocked bishops? Wasn't it just yesterday that toys were E V E R Y W H E R E? Wasn't it just yesterday that no one liked what I made for dinner? Ha!
So hear me, young moms. Cherish the craziness and the sleepless nights. Embrace the mess. And dress those sweet children in outfits that bring you joy. Make memories that will last because before you know it, they're going to be grown and soaring beyond your reach. It's scary, but it's also beautiful.
To you, my precious customers, thank you for your loyalty and support over the past 6 years. Every sale, every like on social media, every kind word...it means more to me than I could ever express in a blog post. So let's celebrate 6 years with a giveaway! Entering is easy! Just leave a comment below for a chance to win a $50 Dressie Jessie Smocking gift card. :)
I'll notify the winner (and announce here) on Monday.
Sending hugs of gratitude to you all! XO, Jessie
CONGRATULATIONS to Raven Weber! We emailed your gift card this morning!

Congratulations on SIX years!! We are so thankful to have found Dressie Jessie several years ago and have loved having you keep our little ones stylish!
Congratulations!!!
My son is 18 months old and I’m cherishing every little moment. The cute little smocks and Jon’s Jon’s I know will not be something he will want to wear in a few more years! So I’m letting my baby be little!!! Happy birthday Dressie Jessie smocking!
Love all the dresses I’ve ever ordered from here over the years, great quality. The dresses have all been handed down over the years to friends and family. I now have a little boy and am excited to see all the cute stuff I can find for him. Congratulations on 6 years!!
Congratulations! Loved reading your blog post and as a new mama of two young kids, what you said really got to me! Thank you for the reminder to cherish every second of these years while they’re little ❤️
