irene design



the butler tunic

I “finished” my first tunic made from the Amy Butler Anna Tunic pattern.  (The buttons still need to be added to the back).  This was a custom order, and she chose the fabric (which is also Amy Butler). I am pleased with the way this one turned out.  It is fully-lined, so it is a little bit thick, but I think it works well with the style.  My favorite part is the “yoke” that form the neck opening and arm cuffs.  I love the way it curves up and over the shoulders.  I also made the cami (same style but a little shorter), and will post those pictures soon.  I think I just might make the dress for myself.  It also has the same yoke-top, but is longer (of course!).  I just need to decide which fabric to use.
