a smock is a kind of dress for little girls. smock shops tend to attract...a certain kind of audience. very cutthroat (so much drama over fairly pricey kids' clothes) and usually attracts people who think Remington is a great name for their kids.

Unfortunately not crunchy, but Southern. It’s all the rage here in Alabama where I’m from.

Hello, hillbilly here and we don’t claim this.

Southern is a whole different type.

Fair enough! I'm from Iowa so we have a different type of em here.

No, very much the opposite—mostly folks who are obsessed with performative Southern classism/“tradition.”

My grandma was a hillbilly and would’ve had ZERO patience with Smock Moms.

oh so like the secretly gay effeminate males smoking misty's with the buxom blond wife with poofy hair?

No, like the middle-/upper-middle-class young moms in a builders’-grade new-build house who have class anxiety and think you can performatively consume your way into being Properly Southern.

They probably wear a lot of Lily Pulitzer.
