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!

Precious family!! I was so happy to stumble across this site! I found the sweetest Mickey Jon Jon & Minnie dress for my 2 year old daughter and 1 year old son (for her 2nd bday party) Love finding sites that have sibling sets! Thanks for sharing your gift with us! And happy 6 years ❤️
Congratulations on 6 years!
Family pictures in Dressiejessiesmocking are some of my most treasured memories. Thank you for you dedication to your customers!
So very exciting! I came across your boutique on Instagram I believe, and I’m so glad I did. Such cute things at affordable prices
My little guy (7 months) just outgrew his 1st set of smocked rompers and bubble suits much faster than I hoped. Buying another round now! (Also, love that I found a local company to buy allll the smocked things from… #mechanicsville)
Congrats on 6 years! Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us. Dressie Jessie is one of our favorite places to find cute matching outfits for our 1 and 3 year old boys. The quality of the clothing is wonderful and everything is precious.
