Riley Smock Paper Sewing Pattern, Sew Different

The Riley Smock is a beautifully romantic style with soft volume through the neckline and sleeves, giving it an effortless, painterly feel. Gentle gathers frame the oversized collar, which sits neatly on a stand and opens into a small V at the front. The 3/4 length sleeves gather at both the shoulder and cuff, adding to the smock’s relaxed, artistic silhouette. In-seam pockets and two length options make it as practical as it is expressive.

This style works particularly well in softer fabrics with movement and drape such as cotton lawn, muslin, linen, viscose or chiffon. Whether sewn as an everyday statement piece or something a little more theatrical, it is a wonderfully satisfying make.
