At that time Liesl also offered some great <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2015\/05\/fabric-and-styling-inspiration-for-the-gallery-tunic-and-dress.html\">styling inspiration<\/a> so be sure to check that out. Liesl will be back here next week with some fabric suggestions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pattern description<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Relaxed-fit pull-on tunic or dress. The tunic features cuffed three-quarter-length sleeves and a one-piece collar. The dress includes in-seam pockets, button-cuff, full-length sleeves, and a band collar. Both versions include an inset front placket with a fun pleated detail, an inverted box pleat at back, and a curved shirttail hem that\u2019s slightly longer in back. Effortless and feminine, this flattering classic-but-contemporary piece can take on many different looks depending on how you style it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meet the panel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Five talented ladies have been gathered to form a panel.
