Re: Design 09 Violet Rose Tunic
I have had this cut out, sitting on the cupboard for a couple of weeks, not quite game to make a start on my first ottobre pattern. Still, it had to be made up eventually, and today was as good as ever.
This is my first try at this pattern, sort of a tester. The fabric is a lovely medium weight cotton knit I bought from an ebay seller. You will remember it from an A-line tunic I made a while back. This is the last of it, so I am glad its wearable.
Having made it once, I can say that the body is a beautiful fit for me, but it is too big under the arms and across the shoulders/neck. Next one I plan to trace off the next size down, but maintain this body size. It will just have a few extra gathers along the bodice, which won't hurt.
