Burda calls it a peasant blouse but it's really more like a tunic.
Peasant Blouse (Plus Size) 09/2013 #133
I cut out size 44
Did a back zip, no front buttons.
Front placket in contrast colour, with fake lacing stitched on
I had problems with the skirt. I may have traced wrong pieces, as it ended up tighter and longer than it should be, but I like dresses anyway, so I just added another panel to make it fit better and went with it.
I love the final dress (which I wore for my tea party the other day) but I think I might need to take the bodice in a little at the top as it gapes a little if I learn forward. Not too unusual a problem for me as my waist is a slightly larger size category than my bust.

Amethyst pendant found online, can't remember where, crescent moon necklace from eBay. It was originally one of those ones with the little planet bit in the middle but that fell off and I like it this way anyway.
Lovely! To be honest, I'm not a fan of tunic tops, so I think it looks better as a cute dress. ^^
ReplyDeleteSeconded!
DeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteI like it as a dress!
ReplyDeleteYou probably turned the skirt pieces by mistake. But it looks better as a dress anyway! Funny how things work out. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks very pretty as a dress!
ReplyDeleteTunic top patterns can be funky to work with, but I like it as a dress!
ReplyDeleteI really like this as a dress! I agree, take it in a little bit!
ReplyDeleteYour dress is amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteI also think that your version as a dress is much cooler than the tunic, you look great!
ReplyDeleteYou look like a doll *_* definitely think it looks better as a dress than as top, great choice!
