I’m glad that tunics are in fashion because: A) they’re flattering to all body types B) they’re easy to sew.

This is a batwing/boatneck that I designed myself and marks the first garment I’ve made by drafting my own pattern. It didn’t come out perfectly, but it was still satisfying to take a project from start to finish on my own.

Here’s one I made from Built By Wendy pattern 3692.

And, of course, I have to talk about the belts. I simply can’t resist a cute waist cincher!

I found this belt at American Vintage in Los Feliz (on Hillhurst). It was a steal at $12:

This one came from Bejon & Deheg, my favorite Los Feliz Village clothing shop.
