PATTERN FORMAT

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!

Indigo is available in TWO size bands. If you are in between the two size charts, check out this post to see which one is right for you. Remember to select the option you want when purchasing.

          Indigo dress

          I made the Indigo dress with the button-back and puffy sleeves. How cute does it look in this apple green gingham?!
          So easy to make!

          Thank you for sharing photos of your Indigo Jane, it looks gorgeous so perfect for summer. Team Buttons x

          Love it!!!

          This pattern is amazing, ive already made 3! There are so many different versions to make, and if you like to hack patterns, then this is definitely for you. Ive made one and altered the the bodice and given it a square neck line.

          We love hacks! Thank you so much for sharing your makes with us Faye. Team Buttons x

          First project for 40 years

          A friend pointed me to this pattern having admired her dress. Wasn’t sure about sizing (24) but all worked out right. This was my first effort made with a cheap fabric. Will make another with chosen fabric.
          All dresses should have pockets.

          Totally agree Judith that all dresses should have pockets. Thank you for sharing. Team Buttons x

          Indigo Dress

          This was the first time I have made a Dress from a pattern!
          The instructions were absolutely clear and easy to follow.
          The choice of sizes in the pattern was extensive I think for my fit I could go down a size which I will do next time. My favourite thing about this pattern is the variety of styles to choose from. I will definitely be making lots more! It is so versatile it can be made in a whole range of fabrics too.

          Oh yay so pleased you've enjoyed making your first dress! Here's to lots more Indigo's. Team Buttons x
