A modern, fitted tunic featuring a stylish A-line shape with increases at each side. The front and back both feature a calbed oval pattern and the bottom edge has an accented border with stranded birds and flowers. Garter bands flank the border and a picot edging finishes it off sweetly. Working Roberta in a larger size also makes a stylish dress that little girls can wear until it becomes a tunic.
