This is a one off oversize tunic made using a souvenir tablecloth. Size XXL
A unique piece that will stand the test of time, as it is so original! We have used a souvenir Western Australia table cloth as the body of this tunic top. The cloth had a border pattern which we have pieced together to create the back section which is gathered into the upper black yoke. This tablecloth has been used.
The yoke is lined with the stripe cotton, both pieces have been fused to accommodate the bulk of fabric meeting at the yoke, and to keep this gal in shape for years to come.
The sleeves are cut from cotton shirting. We have used a black cotton linen blend for the cuff, upper sleeve, back yoke and neck binding. Thre are internal side pockets.
Please note that there is a triangle of fabric on either side of the lower armhole, these are highlighted in the images. There was some light wear in this area, and these pieces were the only solution we could come up with to enable us to cut a larger size. We think it adds to the quirky nature of this top.
We have washed this top after making. There is a size chart in images, this came out a tad larger:
Chest: 66 ( back 68cm)
Hip at Hem 73cm
Length 78cm
Shoulder 17cm
Sleeve 51cm.
