Franken-Tunic, Part II

When last we met, the tunic was looking pretty much just like what it is: two men's shirts sewn together.  So I decided to alter the sleeves and the neckline.


I added some pretty button covers, but you could just as easily change the buttons altogether.


Then I added a beaded applique medallion I had in my stores.


Here's the full effect:


It could have been altered or cropped more to be more fitted for those with that hourglass figure. Personally, I'm kinda shaped like a box, so I opted to leave that part alone.  I plan to wear it with jeans!


Thanks for coming by to see the end result.  Let me know what you think, and what you might have done differently!
