Create yourself a gorgeous handmade dress or top with the help of popular pattern designer, Tilly & The Buttons.

This classic smock dress is an exciting new addition to Tilly's range of patterns and is ideal for the confident beginner. Why are these patterns so great? Not only do you get the pattern, but also full-colour step-by-step instructions, so you don't have to be a great pattern reader to be able to make a modern and stylish smock style dress or top. 

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.

A light- to medium-weight woven fabric is ideal for this garment, with drape such as cotton lawn, chambray, viscose (rayon), tencel, double gauze, crepe de chine, or georgette.
