New Look 6803 : Woman's Tunic (View D)

 (Sigh) I don't know how to rotate photos like this.
Anyway, this is my next project. I've made this once; the first time was a few weeks after I started sewing  and I made the same view (D). Overall, it was wearable, but back then I didn't know how to plan and finish my seams.

I made changes to the pattern; dropped the bust point by about an inch and a half, and then angled the side dart to start just above the waist line.

My plan is to have a vent on both sides of the tunic, and maybe put in a zip on the side since I remove about four inches of ease overall.

I am making this out of muslin; if it works then I'll copy the pattern over to a more permanent material and then make the first one with fashion fabric.

There were some online made of a very silky material that would be really lovely in solid colors.
