Date: 1/21/13 7:42 PM Don't't have any pattern suggestions other than to look at silhouette pattern. Peggy Sagers has some tunics that might could be modified. She follows ready to wear closely. I loved Michelle's inaugural coat and dress. Very chic!

Date: 1/21/13 11:06 PM I can't get a clear view of how the shoulder area is and all, but it looks like a modified shirtwaist - a dress pattern could be cut down to tunic length!
A few links that might work to "frankenpattern" this!
V8847
And this one if you made the sleeve differently and raised the waist a bit?
V8785
Just a start...I wish there were more pictures of that top! Good luck! ------ "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

I have to agree. Great shirt! Why can't the Big 4 draft original, unique patterns like this? ------ Belinda. Melbourne, Australia
