It's another Cynthia Rowley for Simplicity pattern, but I have to complain that the fit is really inconsistent from pattern to pattern: Cutting the same size in all three, the yellow dress was way too big in the bust, this tank from last year was also a little loose, but this tunic ended up really snug in places.
Unfortunately, it's easier to take something in than to add fabric that you've already cut off*, so even though I planned this as a dress it ended up as a tunic. (I, ah, probably need to start walking more and stop eating lemon bars for breakfast, too.)
But it's wearable, and it's done, and I do like this part of the pattern a lot--that decorative piece around the slit has a backing of sky blue, for just a little contrast:
*Say it with me now: MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE!

It really did turn out cute on you, despite all the issues.
