Smocked Polkadot was created in 2014
after Ashley Hensley, a mom of three, was
tired of not being able to find affordable,
adorable and classic clothing for her chil-
dren. Her solution was to start designing
clothing for her own children (two boys
and one girl), which turned into the cre-
ation of Smocked Polkadot.
Based in Virginia, Smocked Polkadot
evokes Southern Charm and childhood
innocence and offers an array of sea-
sonal children’s apparel including sepa-
rates and sets, swimwear, sleepwear and
monogrammed apparel and headwear all
ranging from $19 to $80. The clothing
is designed for newborns up to 10 years
old with a mix of traditional and vibrant
patterns and appliques.
Proceeds from every sale of Smocked
Polkadot will go towards the Seecaas
Hope for Adoption Foundation, which
was started by Ashley and her husband
after their journey through two adop-
tions, as well as one failed adoption. The
purpose of the foundation is to assist and
support the financial barrier by provid-
ing grants to people who choose to grow
their families through the adoption pro-
cess. These proceeds will help funding for
families to support the adoption process
since the cost is often the roadblock for
some families because adoption can cost
approximately $40,000.
Smocked Polkadot is sold through the
brand’s Facebook, Instagram and on their
website.
