Description

Once upon a time, this was the Anda pattern. Anda --> my Tunic Shift dress --> Verona Turtle Tunic. I heart open source!

High wide turtle neck. It can go up, or you can smoosh it down.

Beautiful curved hem.

Slips on over your head--no zippers or buttons or closures, etc.

Wear belted, loose, over jeans or longer skirt. Armholes are low enough to wear sleeved-shirt underneath... Yes, I am thinking ahead for fall.

This fabric is designer surplus cotton with 5% metal. Very groovy. Holds it's shape in an interesting way--like a sculpture.

All seams and edges are overlocked and topstitched to the outside in artisticly contrasting threads. This makes for a very nice experience for you, inside the garment, and a nice textural experience on the outside of the garment. Yay handmade.

Materials

designer surplus cotton with metal, thread, turtle love
