The Triple Tuck Smock is an easy-to-wear loose fitting dress with three distinctive front pleats that add gentle structure and shape. Elbow-length raglan sleeves give the dress a relaxed, comfortable fit, while the pull-on style means there is no zip to sew. Simple, versatile and wonderfully wearable, this is a pattern that can look completely different depending on your fabric choice.

It works beautifully in everything from lightweight cotton and linen through to velvet, needlecord and ponte de roma. Softer fabrics create a more fluid silhouette, while heavier cloths highlight the sculptural pleat detail and give the dress a more architectural feel.
