I could not resist getting another one of these for hot weather wear.....

This is an unsolicited plug for one of my favorite Etsy sellers, who makes soft, loose fitting, very well sewn long lasting
gorgeous tunics and caftans......
I can only sew on buttons.....

Just got this one, I LIVE in these during the hot summers.




And I have my eye on THIS one, for a tunic:

and it is a very nice weight, more like polished cotton but quite soft.
I am 5'4". the hem comes to the ankle bone.

Oh..if you ask, she will cut to your measurement.

The seams are double french, none of that flimsy stuff when you buy in the stores.

I throw into wash. machine gently rinse only-cold- cycle, low heat dryer and take out the minute they are dry, never a wrinkle, never fades.

I not a plus size, but a size 9 to 10. But I like loose-fitting clothes.

Just "convo" her...( send email via her Etsy page) and ask. Include the URL of the outfit you are interested in.
She has altered some outfits for me, no hassle at all.
The great thing about the "light weight" outfits is you feel so free and cool in them.
( they are too thin for outdoor wear unless you have a slip on)
The "premium" material is fine for "public" wear without a slip.
