Trippy Tunic
This piece offers many wearing options. It looks
great with a tank top and jeans but would look
fabulous over a pretty dress or would double as
a beach cover up. This versatile tunic would be
perfect for summer travel plans.

One size fits most.

Because of the loose nature of pattern stitch, Tunic
changes shape to fit a wide variety of sizes.
