$15.00

The Sage Smock Dress is a pretty, loose fitting tiered midi smock dress with a tie back closure, in seam pockets , three sleeve variations and available in sizes 6 – 24 (Australian standards). 

This pretty dress pattern has three sleeve options. View A has a set in short sleeve which is gathered at the hem and finished with self binding. View B has a regular set in short sleeve and View C is sleeveless with a slightly lower armhole depth.

The Sage Smock Dress has two tiers and is midi length but it would be so easy to omit one tier and make a shorter flirty version. All views have bust darts, in seam pockets and a tie back closure. It is a loose fitting dress with plenty of ease and would look great made up in linen, cottons, rayon, or any soft drapey woven fabric. There is a lot of gathering so keep in mind that a softer fabric is easier to gather.

The Sage Smock dress is a floaty, boho style dress that would look great teamed up with a pair of pretty sandals, flip flops or even some cool sneakers for a great weekend casual vibe. The sleeveless style has a slightly lower armhole depth making it light and breezy,  perfect to  pop over your bathers for a trip to the beach.

PREPARATION TIME Printing, sticking, cutting fabric and marking details 1 -2 hours Sewing time 3-5 hours (approx).

    Easy pattern to follow, well illustrated. I helped my two daughters (aged 13 and 11) make a dress each, one with sleeves and one without, with great results for both.

    Sage, view C Sleeveless tiered, First garment my granddaughter has made with a little assistance. Overall we were very satisfied with pattern and instructions. However didn’t rate 5 stars as finished neckline too high cut in front and rides high after an hour or so. . We will need to make alterations after Christmas.

    I love this dress pattern. Sews up so well. True to size I graded between a size 12 at the bust and 16 at the hips. A wonderful pattern!

      Hi Pips, Thanks for your review, I’m happy that you like it. Annie

    Loved the dress, but I think the sizing is a bit big. I have made it twice, and will make it again.

  7. Laura M. (verified owner)

    Enjoyed making this dress! Also don’t stress if you can’t make it out of a 55″ or wider fabric. The bottom tier is easy to make from 45″ fabric if you make 4 sections instead of 2. A fun and super straight forward sewing project. Especially loved the tie neck detail.

    Great pattern quick and easy to sew and it looks great. Made a second dress and adapted it to be shorter.

    Love this pattern – so glad I bought it. I’ve made 2 dresses with the sleeves from thin, drapey cotton (one was a recycled duvet cover because I loved the way the pattern had an almost ombre effect down the tiers) and they’re so effortlessly comfortable to wear. Also a sleeveless version in light linen which I’m looking forward to wearing when it warms up a bit here.
