The studio working name for this new Spring 18 Marcy Tilton pattern is 'The Tuck Tank Tunic'. Vogue 9317 is versatile, flattering, fun to sew, easy to fit and designed for both knit and woven fabrics. For the pattern envelope we used a polka dot Japanese double gauze, a drapey red rayon/lycra jersey and white handkerchief linen. Choose a fabric with drape - silk or rayon crepe, light weight ponte, linen blends. The piecing lends itself to color blocking - and I've been imagining a version in stripes with the stripes going different ways in the pattern pieces...or using a collage of different but related stripes.
