So the skirt didn't fit but this tunic does. Which is not as obvious as it sounds, because it started off being for Bella.
Seriously.
I've obviously still got some way to go when it comes to working out measurements for patterns I'm drafting myself. But at least I get to keep this mistake.

I used a yellow medium weight cotton (with a slight sheen) for the main body of the tunic and originally gave it a dark orange neckline, but once I realised that it was way too large for Bella, I changed it to a stronger, dark grey linen. Then I added more of the grey linen to the bottom hem to lengthen the tunic.

I'm not sure how I got the measurements quite so wrong, but I'm glad that I did. I've been wanting to make a simple tunic for myself but would never have gotten around to doing it. So it's a very happy accident.
I'm going to make it using a light weight cotton next because although this one is fairly soft I want to try it with a softer drape. I have a couple of yards of a Denyse Schmidt voile that would be perfect, but I find it so hard to use so much good fabric on myself.
Of course, I'm also going to try redrafting it in Bella's size!
