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? Get the PDF Indigo add-on pattern, or choose PDF bundle option above, which includes extra pattern pieces and instructions for a midi skirt tier, button back opening, short ruffle sleeves and puffed sleeves.

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.

Great Pattern & Instructions

The first TATB pattern I've used. What a breath of fresh air, beautifully presented, good quality paper pattern, so easy to trace from and return to the envelope as it came out. Equally, the instructions were well presented and the links to some of the techniques helpful to reinforce my understanding. Not only is the finished product the first I've completed that fits well and I'm happy with but I've already cut out another one ready to go!

Hi Shirley,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your first TATB pattern experience and that it fit so well – well done! I can't wait to see your next make!
Happy sewing!

Fantastic outcome

As a beginner I thought that there were a lot of steps but they seemed clear and I managed quite well.

The only part I struggled with was doing the frill seam - but will try again.

Would definitely buy another pattern from Tilly & The Buttons

Thank you for your review, Sandra! Our Indigo dress is suited for confident beginners with a few projects under their belt, but I’m so happy to hear you managed to complete your project as a beginner – yay! We have a blog post about Ten Tips for Sewing Gathers (with video), and here’s the link for you: https://www.tillyandthebuttons.com/2019/10/ten-tips-for-sewing-gathers-with-video.html.
Hope this helps and I can’t wait to see your next Indigo! Happy sewing! VirgInija x

Great pattern/Easy to follow

This was my first ‘confident beginner’ pattern which I was slightly apprehensive about. However the instructions were really clear and easy to follow and I had no trouble at all putting it together. I just need to pick more fabric for the next one.

Hi Melissa, thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so thrilled to hear that your first 'confident beginner' pattern went smoothly and that the instructions were helpful. Enjoy choosing fabric for your next one - can't wait to see it! Happy sewing! Virginija x

Gorgeous, versatile and beginner friendly!

I have some basic sewing skills but am quite new to making garments with patterns. The Indigo dress is the perfect beginner dress, it’s so versatile and the instructions are easy to follow. I’ve made two and will be making many more! It’s the pattern that got me hooked on TATB, thank you!

Hi Jenny, thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that the Indigo dress was a great introduction to garment sewing for you, and that the instructions were clear and easy to follow. It’s wonderful that you're already planning more makes – welcome to the TATB sewing party! 😊 Happy sewing! Virginija x

To be started!

I have this pattern all ready to go and cannot wait. All Tilly's patterns are winners and her books of which I have 3 !!
