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? 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.

          I’ve made this pattern so many times, from a cotton tunic exactly as the pattern says, a super comfortable jersey version, to a fancy lined, silk maxidress that gives the beautiful print a chance to shine. Great instructions, and the printed pattern paper is substantial enough to live on for yet another version. Would recommend to any beginner as you’re more than likely to end up with something wearable and it’s a really useful pattern to have on hand.

          Beautiful dress and fun to sew

          I’m a beginner and I really enjoyed sewing this dress! The pattern is easy to follow and the dress is so so beautiful! <3 I’ve already finished 3 Indigo dresses and I will definitely sew many more :-) I’ve used both woven fabric and courtellejersey (Ponte de Roma) - the dress in the photo is sewn in Ponte.

          Great pattern

          Really nice and comfortable pattern, Ive made a puffed sleeve midi dress with it and after a few adjustments it fits perfect. The bodice will probably become by go to "comfy" bodice sloper when I want to draft myself. I am looking forward to making many more dresses and tops

          Versatile Top

          I love the variations of this top. I decided on the frill seams and flounce sleeves version and have used the gathering technique for the first time. As always, great instructions. I will be making more Indigo tops and feel inspired by the article on using different fabrics. Thank you.
