Feather & Fan Tunic

Eckman, a great professional, makes this simple design a simple masterpiece. As you can see, it would look great worn with the crew or V-neck to the front; but if you work the optional short-row bust shaping, it designates the V at the back. You work the body in the round, then divide at the armholes for front and back. Sleeves have a nice cap and are sewn in separately. Whether or not you shape the bust, the linen will wash over you with terrific drape and swish-- and we love that you must machine-wash it (gauge is given after washing).
