Stained Glass Tunic

The inspiration for this twirly number comes from my love of wearing tunics. I just love the flow of this one though, as it dances with each move you make and if you walk outside the wind catches and plays with it. Can you see it?

The vertical color changes in the top appear to be like a grouping of stained glass windows, hence the name.

You get a bonus pattern too, a matching headband.

Designed for sizes 36/38/40/42/44/46/48/50/52/54 (with 3” positive ease).
