Indigo Dress Sewing Pattern

Made without any fastenings (just throw it on and go), this dress features a floaty skirt, bust darts for shaping, and a gently curved waistline. We recommend a floaty fabric to show off the ruffles, like a cotton poplin or lawn, or even a lightweight rayon. But you could also give it a little more structure with a midweight linen or cotton crepe.

Indigo Dress Makes from the Web

Purple Sewing Cloud

I’ve made very different versions and I thought these trying times would be great opportunity to show you them all so you can see how easy it is to use one pattern to create a big chunk of your me made wardrobe.

Our notes: One pattern, five ways! You need to check out how different all of these makes look; such a great use of variations and fabric choice.

Loving that fabric!

Our notes: A super cute example of the popular Indigo Dress! I love the way this fabric doesn't overpower the straight lines and ruffled accents on this dress.

Turmeric dye! So cool!

Our notes: Woah, this make! Not only is it a fabulous upcycle (made using a duvet cover), but OP also used a natural dye to give it a little extra oomph.

I love the little ruffles across the chest area so cute!!
