I made this top for my dear younger sister as a Christmas gift. The polyester knit is a splashy floral/animal print combination. I chose Butterick 5815. I originally thought I'd make the dress version. As luck would have it the sleeves used so much yardage that there was only enough to make the tunic. I'm so glad because skinny pants and leggings are so popular right now and the tunic would make the perfect topper. Because I was using a knit I went down one size for better fit since the pattern called for a woven. The sleeves kinda confused me but that's because I didn't refer to the instructions at all. After I figured the sleeves out everything else went together easy peasy.
She styled it just as I imagined it should be. She sent me this picture on her phone. I think my sis looks great in it!
