Про одежду (en - ru)

Всем здравствуйте!
Вопрос к знатокам моды и одежды :)

Контекст:
One day after church, Sister Clark was telling me how adorable Lulu was and going on how much she’d grown. “You made her a little dress just like your blue calico, Maude. You should have worn them at the same time, it would be just precious.”
“We can’t do that, Sister Clark. I made that up out of my old dress. She’s growing so much I have to make her new things every time I turn around.”
“Well, you certainly have a beautiful hand with a needle. Look at that smocking on the front and the little flowers you embroidered. It’s as fine as any dress you could buy in St. Louis.”

Смокинг - это ведь мужской пиджак (в данном случае - начало ХХ века). Как он может быть в цветочек? 0.o
А может быть, так называется еще какая-нибудь одежда (как, например, decollete)? Не нашла...
Помогите, пожалуйста!
Спасибо :)
