I just have to add a mandarin collar to the neckline which should be fairly simple. Looking forward to making this a tried-and-true pattern. Thanks for the inspirations.

Perhaps a camisole underneath if it is too sheer.

I have a few pieces of paisley silk bought on a trip to India many years ago, and the colors are the same but the print is much smaller and more uniform. I will probably give in to the siren call of the tunic, as that style will be the most wearable for my life at this point, but I am thinking a color block on the collar might be in order to control the riot of color. Plus jewel tones don't look especially good on me, but I am not going to let that stop me!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095407804481638515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193367862444945572.post-20499576954914964132016-11-13T05:16:40.827-08:002016-11-13T05:16:40.827-08:00This is a beautiful top Ms. Beth!

The colors are very flattering. I like the purple square in the center. It's so dominant I think it would look off anywhere else. Your garden is lovely; mine is covered in fall leaves that need to get blown off, but there are still so many left to fall. Yes, we do have to dig up dahlias since they aren't hardy here.
