Updated picture of my yellow floral "tunic"

When I first blogged about this blouse, I had made it to wear during pregnancy. Except it ended up too tight so never got worn then. When I tried it on a month or two ago, I decided the hem was too long. (I always think tunics are cute but never seem to like them on my body.) It then sat in my mending pile for awhile until I finally got around to fixing it. Aren't alterations a pain?

What do you think? I really like the new length, and only have issue with the warmth of polyester fabric during summer months.

  3. I think it's cute, perfect, and the polyester will probably be fine since in SA you're in air conditioning most of the time any way in the summer.

  9. I love yellow but my sallow skin colour doesn't allow me to wear it (altho I did try for years). It is really lovely!

  10. Cute! Love it with the shorts, and it doesn't look "maternity" at all. I love the print. We all need more print in our lives, I think... at least I do.

  11. Such a lovely tunic! I like the new length. And yes, alterations are a pain but if they result in a garment like your tunic, aren't they worth it?

  12. The new length is really cute!

    I agree alterations and mending in general is a pain. I make myself do mending first, before the fun sewing. That way I never have a huge pile of mending and can get it done quickly.

  17. Very cute. And if you think it's too warm for summer, then I can imagine it's a great top with some long trousers in fall or spring. Pretty!
