Indigo top and dress - sewing pattern by Tilly and the Buttons

£17.50

Cute, comfy and effortlessly stylish, the Indigo smock has no fiddly fastenings so you can throw it on and go. Sew it with classic gathered seams or elevate it to a stand-out piece in your wardrobe with the pretty exposed frill seam.

Indigo has a bodice shaped with bust darts, gently curved empire waistline, and floaty gathered skirt. Make it as a top with dipped hem ending at the low hip, or a knee-length dress with straight hem and pockets (yay!). Choose from three-quarter flounce sleeves or slim-fitting bracelet sleeves. You’ll want to wear one every day of the week.

Want to get even more out of your pattern? We have an add-on pattern for the Indigo smock that gives you extra pattern pieces and instructions. The additional options include a button back, short sleeves with optional ruffle and tiered midi skirt. You can buy the Indigo add-on digital pattern here!
