Museum Tunic + instructions

shoulder.lines

Well I'm not sure what you were expecting. When I read my comments from the last post at dinner last night, I cracked up at the notion that some of you assumed that the flier image I showed in the post was the dress I was going for! SO funny! I guess you might think that at a glance. But come on, I only had about an hour! That would have taken at least an hour & 15 minutes (+ 2 days).

museum.tunic.1

Anyway, I've had the thought to make this ultra simple tunic from the Square Dance fabric for a while, and decided at the last minute last night to give it a quick whirl. It is truly nothing but rectangles and 1/4" elastic. I have Here are some quick renderings of the simple process drawn up for you. but didn't have time to edit and upload today. I promise I will edit this post to add them this weekend. (Do I keep promising things?)

museum.tunic

A few notes: I used what's considered a panel and a half of the Square Dance fabric (45" length). I started by cutting the panels apart into four pieces parallel with the selvages. In the sewing, I pressed open all seams, turned allowances under twice and topstitched them down on either side of the seam after step 2, step 3 and again after step 4. This way there are no raw edges anywhere, and you can catch the armhole and neckline openings in this step too. I used 3 rows of elastic about 1/2" apart from each other right under the bust for an empire silhouette. You just stretch the elastic as you zigzag it onto the wrong size. I find this so much quicker than the mock smocking technique with elastic bobbin. I also find it more reliable in terms of good stretch. And this fabric was so easy to follow a straight line because of the square print.

samesies

The front is exactly the same as the back, and equally flattering from the front and the back too! And oh my gravy so comfortable. Perfect worn over a nude colored slip, or really any slip. I was originally going to wear it with the belt, but I decided it was a little dressier without for the occasion.

museum.tunic.2

The style could not be more simple, and it felt really appropriate to enter the amazing Golden Age of Couture show in something very simple. There is just no way to compete with the elaborate beauty that is on view now at the Frist Museum. Oh geez. SO gorgeous! I am gonna have to go over there several times this summer, to get a good look at everything. The hardest part for me was the urge to touch everything. Anyway, exciting news: the kind folks at the Frist have asked me to teach a workshop in conjunction with this amazing exhibit! I'll be teaching a sewing class at the museum at the end of the summer and all the info you need is here. They have a beautiful facility and it should be a wonderful inspiring time for me + 20 eager seamstresses!

Thanks for your enthusiasm yesterday about the dressmaking madness, and hope you try one too! xoxo, Anna

  23. Hey! I just whipped up a dress that looks exactly like this... I saw a caftan/swim suit cover-up on the cover of J. Crew a couple of weeks ago and was like, "This is darling. I can totally make it." And I did. Yay! Yours looks wonderful. Your fabrics are flattering ALL over the place: on kids, adults, pillows, quilts, you name it!

  24. You have really inspired me. I am working on a dress for my trip to Italia in September - keep it simple will be my mantra. You look fantastic.

  27. Oh how I wish I could come to your class!! But, alas, a $2000 plane ticket from Japan is just not in the family budget this year. Think you could come give a class in Okinawa? I know a ton of people who would attend!! (wink, wink) And, of course, LOVE the dress. I wish I could get some of that fabric over here, too. I will set out scouring the internet asap!

  28. Cute dress, Anna Maria. You look wonderful in it!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Turned out really cute!
    I have a pattern that is somewhat similar, though the back is fully covered on mine. I love the way the fabric lays softly. Did it stay on our shoulders ok?

    ReplyDelete
  30. It's so great for something so simple! I bet it's the drape of the fabric that makes that possible.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Okay, love the dress...but am mostly excited about THE WORKSHOP! I took your class at watkins (for art teachers) a couple years back and think you are simply amazing. Signing up for your workshop today!

  32. Dress is stunning in its simplicity and you look fabulous. And oh that bracelet...to die for!

  33. beautiful! i do love that fabric so very much...i had a little clutch made out of it for my wedding day which is just a week 1/2 away now...i've been dying to show off the purse but am saving it for the special day :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ok, first of all your last minute dress is fabulous!!! Secondly, PAleeeeezzze post a tute for this! It's the first spring/summer frock that has a design that I can actually wear! I am, er, Ruban-esque, and could wear this tunic style and actually look good... Then I could also shorten amd make several shirts/blouses with a long, maybe sheered waist band.... Lots of possibilities! I have oodles of your lovely voile and have been waiting for just the right thing to make something for myself....

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh wait! I just thought of another way to wear your voile with this pattern.... It could be worked into a very bohemian Kaftan! We could all chuck our sweats and walk around the house in flowy voile Kaftans! Just use elastic on the front under the tatas and let the rest flow....

  38. Ack! I love this dress so much! The sleeves are just so beautiful and the length so flattering. Your fabric is just so beautiful and your eye for design impeccable. Thanks for showing us how you whipped it all together!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I have a few lengths of your voile that I'd like to use for this dress... so love it! The paneled fabric, alas, is not amongst my stash (yet) so I'm wondering approximatly what is the panel length.... needing to determine how much fabric is needed to help with the fabric choice.

    thank you!!

  50. Gorgeous - LOVE IT! I wish I could wear it too, perfect but you have more curves than me and the top just wouldn't fall as nicely without, for lack for a better term, more FILL than I have!

  51. I just got your book and all this reading about maternity clothing makes me think... wouldn't this dress be suitable for a maternity dress, too? Adding extra length in the front would be a little trickier (?), but for early pregnancy it shouldn't matter that much. Hmmm.. I need to do some thinking :)

  58. Anna, what size would you say this turns out to be? I just have to make it, but it will be my first attempt at making clothing, so I'm not sure how to measure yet! Thanks :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Hi Swing Studio- I am not sure what size would translate to exactly, but quite variable I would think. You are essentially using a full width of fabric around all measurements which after seam allowances is probably about 50". So its very roomy, and the real fitting comes in where you place the elastic. I honestly think it would cover size small to xl, its just that the gathered effect would be a little different on everyone.

  65. I can't believe how gorgeous this is! It's so flattering and comfortable!

    I am also pouting - because I just cut out at least 10 pieces for a similar looking dress (facings along the neck line and back) but could have scrapped all that and just done this instead! I have some of the pastry-line voile in the marine, maybe I'll whip this up instead!

    THANK YOU! You have helped me figure out what to do with this fabulous vintage fabric - it was previously drapes in my dining area but I've since redecorated. I can see it looking great with some solid navy banding at the neckline, sleeves, and perhaps bottom hemline.

    I also just ordered some more of your eccentric green Nouveau Bouquet fabric for pillows on our patio. So glad summer is here!

  72. I'm thinking this would be a great project to use a bolt of vintage japanese yukata (kimono) cotton fabric I've recently bought. The fabric is 36 cm wide (and 12 meters long), perhaps too wide, but I will see how it works out!
    I will share a picture of the results if I dare go ahead with the project.

  75. This. Is. Awesome. Thankyou very much for the diagrams, I find that so much easier to understand than having to get a paper pattern, cut that out and follow that. I want to see how the shapes fit together like that before I attempt anything, that way I understand it and have more chance of success. <3

    ReplyDelete
  76. Anna Maria,
    I ordered this sweet fabric kit from your shop, but I couldn't wait to make something from this oh so easy pattern. But my body is built differently than your dainty one...not that I'm a big girl, but this works better for those who are big on top and little down low. I think it gapes too much at the sleeves (so I tacked them under) and it was far too small at the hips. So I had to add an extra 8 inch panel on each side. So I'm not sure what to do when my fabric kit gets here as there won't be enough for my size. Do you have any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Awesome!! Are you going to do a more indepth tutorial? How do we measure? Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Lindsey- I am not a small girl- I wear a 10 typically and am 5-8" My measurements are about 40-31-39. Keep in mind too that this fabric is 55" wide, so I am not sure how wide the fabric is that you used, but as long as your largest measurement isn't bigger than 44 or so, you should be fine with the kit width.

    Also, shaping is going to be different for everyone. The real fitting comes in how many rows of elastic you use, where you place them, and also you can play with how low/high you sew up the side seams and the neckline opening.

    Hope this helps!
    xo,Anna

  79. You are absolutely lovely!! I love this dress and the square dance fabric you used for it! Gorgeousness! I just might have to try my hand at this. I'm a novice when it comes to dress making but I have grand dreams of making several eventually : )

  80. Very cute dress! Yet another reason that I am going to learn how to sew after this art fair is over end of July. My mom just offered me a sewing machine and I also have one already that needs to be fixed.

  89. i just finished up this today and will get pictures asap to you! i had to buy the same fabric too..it's just too beautiful..:) i love it! i did sew up the armholes a bit more and played around with the blousing of the top. i'm busty, so instead of an empire, i went with closer to my true waste for the elastic. the only issue i had was the blousing under the arms (it was looking just too big), but after fiddling with the elastic placement decided i liked it just fine afterall. it gives it a more bohemian look in my view..;)

    and you are right, it is super comfy!!

    i have an enchanted vintage (i think that is the name) sari skirt that is way too big and this will make the perfect dress pattern for it...thank you so much!!!

  121. Love this dress! Right now I am in a no pattern sewing mode, so this is perfect. I do think I will use a vintage print quilt fabric and see how it comes out. From reading the comments I see it is 55" wide fabric and you have 45" inches of length. Can't wait to go to the fabric store!

    ReplyDelete
  122. so I whipped this up today! It is really casual and cute in the fabric I chose. I used my handy serger to finish the raw edges and a narrow seam to put the pieces together. I can't wait to wear it when it gets a little warmer.

  127. We lived on the banks of the Tennessee River, and we owned the summers when we were girls. We ran wild through humid summer days that never ended but only melted one into the other. We floated down rivers of weekdays with no school, no rules , no parents, and no constructs other than our fantasies. We were good girls, my sister and I. We had nothing to rebel against. This was just life as we knew it, and we knew the summers to be long and to be ours.
