Named Clothing - Ilma Smock Dress & Top

The Ilma pattern includes two variations: an airy off-the-shoulder mini dress, and a cute A-line top. Both variations feature a wavy, tiered hemline and an elasticated neckline. The dress variation has wrist-length puff sleeves with gathered sleeve openings. The top comes with ruffle shoulder straps. You can also make a sleeveless dress with shoulder straps, or sew the top with puff sleeves and off-the-shoulder neckline. Both variations are maternity friendly.

Sizes: XS-XXL

FABRIC & SUPPLIES

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS

Choose a non-stretch, light to medium weight fabric. Depending on the desired result, you can opt for an airy low-drape fabric, such as a light linen or an organic cotton, or a more drapey one, like tencel or rayon.

Our yellow dress sample was made of the Kulta herringbone linen blend.
