Two months ago Suzanne Winter of Winter Wear Designs posted that she needed a few more testers for a boho-style tunic she had in testing that was for wovens. I love boho style tunics and I just so happen to have quite a few lightweight apparel wovens sitting in my stash. This is the Journey Tunic & Dress.
I made the non-tiered version of the tunic body with a gathered back bodice, the sleeves with a ruffle, and collarless neckline. The non-tiered version is considered a pattern included hack. There are not full pattern pieces for this version, but the pattern tells you how much length to add to the bodice pieces in lieu of adding the ruffle to the hem.
There are two back options - straight or gathered. I opted for the gathered back bodice for the extra ease. My booty appreciate having the extra room.
My fabric is from Super Textiles. It is a crepe chiffon georgette. It is a gorgeous chevron design is amazingly saturated colors of coral, magenta, teal, navy, and white.
This print is so fun! I love how light it is. It will be perfect to wear through the summer. I had plans to make another Journey Tunic. I thought Suzanne might post an updated pattern (even though I had no issues with this one) or that I might have found some time to make a second or third.
I love the neckline detail. The yoke doesn't quite make a v shape, it is squared off at the bottom. The pattern also includes an option for a high collar with a back opening and an open collar that is the same neckline as I made, but with a collar at the top edge.
The Journey Tunic & Dress is on sale for $5.95 through June 9th!
