Pattern Description: tunic top

Pattern Sizing:S-XL (I made the L - generous fit in bust)

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

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? pattern worked well with my fabric

Fabric Used: Marc Jacobs cotton voile from Fabric Mart

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added a hem band to the sleeves (on view B - only view C had it on the envelope). I also added 3 inches in length to the bodice as my FBA - the shirt fit great around me, but with big boobs, you need some extra length at times.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes

Conclusion: loose-fit without looking sloppy...I like it.
