A little over a year ago I fell in love with these two tunics:
Emilio Pucci batwing tunic
Roberto Cavalli chiffon mini dress.
By looking at the names you can already assume I wasn't going to pay their prices for this simple top lol.
I was unsure of which view to go with so I ended up doing C with the round neck.
I have had this cut out and ready to sew for A YEAR!!!! LOL I'm SO glad I made this! I started on it LATE Friday night and then put it up and finished it Saturday right before a great dinner date with my hubby! It was perfect!!
Pattern Description:
MISSES’ AND WOMEN’S TUNICS AND BELT: Very loose fitting tunic has
topstitched seams and neck edge variations; tunics B, C have side seam
openings and belt.
Pattern Sizing:
8-16 I made the 10
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes very.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Loved this pattern.
Fabric Used:
Some kinda jersey mesh knit from Hancock.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I doubt if I would make this again but I HIGHLY recommend it to others!
Conclusion:
This was such a great pattern and so stylish for spring!
So glad to be working with you on the Soulology project! and that tunic looks great!!! : )

I love your blog. Very honest and refreshing. I know how good it feels to finish a garment just before an important outing and get to wear it to that event. Looks great on you.

Love the tunic,your hair and sandals, I want to wear sandals but it's not warm enough here yet. I have some fabric that I think would be perfect for this pattern. I'll post it when I make it and give credit where credit is due. Thanks for the inspiration.

It looks really cute. I have that pattern and have been trying to find the right fabric. I already own a top like it but it make from a yellow and black semi sheer material. Which is what made me look for the pattern. I would like to make this as a dress and a top

I love it, very stylish, I assume you don't have to use a knit fabric for it??
Posted by: allisonc | March 30, 2009 at 05:18 AM
TOO CUTE!!! You betta work girl!!! I might be biased though. I love white and the punch of color looks great with it.
But um, is it okay for me to be jealous that you are able to have your feet out and stuff. I am so mad at the weather over here. One day one day..... I too will be able to show my feet..one day

Love your site!
I found your site trying to find information on this pattern. I've been trying to decide if I like the pattern or not for some fabric that I have. Thanks for posting about this! Now, I know I'm going to like it.
You don't have a suggestion for a just a simple, straight, loose fitting, long sleeved tunic pattern, do you?
