Pink Linen Tunic-Dress
I crafted this dress lovingly-- all right, obsessively-- for myself, trying to replicate a favorite old tunic. Unfortunately, I neglected to add enough allowance for french seams, so it's a bit tight on me. I'd like to sell it off to someone it would fit better, so I can try again for me!
Dress is 100% pink linen, sort of borderline coral-colored. As always with linen, it's best to wash it only on cold settings and hang to dry.
Dress is 51" long, which hits right at ankle for me. All allowances but the back gore are french seamed; back gore is zig-zagged. All hems are hand-sewn; neckline is faced and handsewn.
Sleeves are pieced to allow for extra room in the forearms.
Side gores and back gore. Hem measures 104" around.
Mind that this dress was meant to fit closely-- it would look great underneath a looser gown or apron dress/hangerok, or work well as summer garb on its own. For reference, I'm 5'3" and a size 4/6. Will fit someone who has the following measurements or smaller:
Bicep: 11.5"
Bust: 33"
Waist: 28"
Asking $45 + shipping, Paypal preferred. May be interested in trades for this one, especially for linen or wool fabric. PM if interested. Thanks!
