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!

We adopted our first child at age 4.5 and dressing her in these sweet outfits bring me so much joy. We missed out on the first 4.5 years of her life but we never take a second together with her now for granted.
We are anxiously awaiting to bring another daughter home from the same country, Bulgaria, and I already have her closet full as well!
Dressing my girls is so fun! Thank you for offering such sweet, adorable outfits and congratulations on this anniversary.
Happy 6 years friends!! 🥳💗
I’ve gotten the sweetest outfits for all occasions! Love looking back
Congratulations! I have always been impressed with the quality of the Dressie Jessie clothing I have purchased. Cheers to 6 years!
I had bees looking for my little ones first birthday outfit for a long time. I came across your online store and immediately fell in love with an outfit and I just knew it was the one. My family is pretty hard to impress as there are a lot of sisters, one trying to out do the other. The fabric was so soft and he wanted to stay in it all day. Thank you for making Henry’s first birthday one to remember.
