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.

Comfy

I love this pattern, it’s my go to for comfy work attire and easy to make.

Great!

I always love Tilly patterns. The Lyra and now indigo are my go to. Easy to assemble and perfect finishes every time! Used the pattern to make an organza overlay dress with French seams. I just cut a size bigger to allow for the fabric. A perfect oversized dress.

Hi Holly, thanks for sharing a photo of your beautiful Indigo dress! I love this version in organza - I hope you enjoy wearing it! Happy sewing, Virginija x

Perfect match!

I saw a dress advertised online and couldn't help thinking, " I've seen that dress somewhere, I know I can make that!". The Indigo is a perfect match. I've made a muslin from fabric a friend gave me and I see only a couple of adjustments that I want to do. I'm calling this my "hippie dippy Granny dress" and I will wear it all summer! Below is my inspiration, then my muslin styled as everyday wear and finally with my favorite apron 😉. Thanks TATB!

Hi Susan, thank you for the lovely review! It’s so great to hear our pattern was a match made in heaven for what you were looking for. Enjoy wearing your beautiful dress - it looks gorgeous! Virginija x

Indigo Dress with short sleeves

I am new to sewing clothes and felt this pattern might be beyond me. However, I took it step by step and loved making it. I am hooked and looking forward to my next make. I used cotton lawn and it was lovely to work with. Thanks Tilly for understanding how beginners feel!

Hi Julie, thanks so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad to hear that you weren’t intimidated and sewed it up. Your dress is absolutely gorgeous and looks so good on you - well done! I’m looking forward to seeing your future makes. :) Happy sewing! Virginija x

I love this pattern

I have used this pattern so many times this n various forms and adaptations. I love it. It's an easy make and makes such a comfortable garment. I would definitely recommend it to anyone

Hi Wendy, thanks so much for recommending the pattern! I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying it - hope you love wearing all your versions. :) Happy sewing! Virginija x
