Tunic features:
This drape back tunic is best cut in a light, drapey, one-way stretch knit fabric. The seam allowances are generous at 1.25cm (½”) so there is enough fabric to finish the neckline and armholes. The wider seam allowance will also be useful if you cut this tunic in woven fabrics (e.g. light weight cotton voile, light silks and some rayons). It’s home and industry ready with a flexible fit that makes it so easy to wear. The Drape Back Tunic or Dress length. Choose your fabrics carefully! Cotton voile will fit up to size 14 without any issues. Cut in knit it can fit up to size 20! This product is for personal and home use only.

Where do I start:
The first order of business is to select your fabric for this elegant tunic. I’d recommend soft drape knits for your first sample. That could be either one or two-way stretch knits although the elastane found in two-way stretch is not needed in this design. And I did have some success using a light cotton voile keeping in mind a petticoat would be needed. And I’m just dying to try it out in a silk crepe de chine!
