Tilly and the Buttons: Indigo

A paper sewing pattern by UK Indie Pattern company Tilly and the Buttons

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. Choose from three-quarter flounce sleeves or slim-fitting bracelet sleeves.

The larger size band is currently only available as a PDF pattern - check out Tilly's website here.
