Loes Hinse 5213 V Neck Tunic

I completed this top yesterday.

This is a Loes Hinse pattern. I used small in upper chest/neckline/shoulder tapering to large at bust line to bottom edge. Pattern called for 3/8 seam allowances. I ended up taking deeper seams where sleeves attach to bodice. I also took deeper seams in the shoulder/over arm seam. I took deeper seams at underarm through bustline, tapering back to 3/8 at waist to bottom. I think the stretch of the knit required the deeper seams.

I acquired the fabric from EOS in 2007. It was labeled Chico knit and as I recall this was knit used in some fashions for Chico's. The knit is slightly bulky and has stretch like slinky. I am thinking I will wear a chain belt with it to dress it up for work wearing black or brown pants.
