This handcrafted tunic is nice and airy. Good for dressing up your look. The yarn drapes nicely. Will fit a medium as an 'almost' dress and a 2x as a tunic. It's long enough even for the model, who is 6'. I recommend that an under shirt be worm as this tunic is very see-through! There is no front or back. Just use whatever side you wish. It does matter which is outside vs. inside. I have sewn a small color patch on the inside, so it will be visible. Color: I call it fushcia. It could be classified as a reddish-purple, too. The yarn manufacturer calls it #42 - no color name. The mannequin is a medium and the model is a 2x. It fits both sizes and in between, too. The model is wearing a white shirt underneath. A black one (or any color that goes with the garment color) could be worn, too, for winter. Care: for best results and longevity of the garment, machine wash and dry on delicate setting. Don't overdry. Lay flat while still damp so you can shape the garment. Pattern courtesy of: Yarnspirations.com
