I used a great cotton linen blend fabric:
This is the pattern I used, which is still in the New Look catalogues:
The one I made above was done without the fancy schmancy detail around the neckline. However, I made it again, and this time I did go all out:

It would probably be overkill to make this pattern again but I'll definitely hang onto it...just in case I change my mind~

Both versions are really nice. The detail on the batik came out amazing!
Both versions came out great!! I love the Batik one too. I made the same dress a while back and I chose the same style, but, did different arms. I didn't realize how short it was until I put it on too.

Hope you stop by my blog and check out the tunic dress. I am also your newest follower.
Tamara, I love your tunic dresses, and although it is a bot short, you have INCREDIBLE legs, so it looks fabulous on you, :)

They are both really cute. I think you can pull off that length too.
Woah, Super Hot!!
These are so awesome!!
I am loving the pics of you outside.
Really love both pieces! I would be so tempted to go ahead and make another one...they are both so unique in their own way.
I DO like the simplicity of the tunic yes very nice indeed

Love both dresses! I almost bought that pattern but didn't. I bought a simpler version instead but haven't tried it yet.
Gorgeous! I would love it if you would link up to my Tuesday Confessional link party going on now: http://www.craftyconfessions.com/2011/07/tuesday-confessional-link-up-2.html. I hope to see you soon!
